[Whole-skin electrotherapy: a therapeutic concept for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. I. Irradiation technic and dosimetry].
A simple, but efficient radiotherapeutic method is presented for the irradiation of the whole body surface. Dosimetric measurement shows that the largest part of the skin receives between 80 and 100% of the dose. Only the concave surfaces receive a lower dose. They are saturated by boost irradiation. The total body exposure due to Bremsstrahlung is less than 1% of the target dose.
