Abstract
Transit dose measurements in rotation therapy with a cobalt unit are used to calculate effective water-equivalent chest contours. These are used to compute thoracic tumor dose corrected for low absorption in lung tissue. Approximate analytical and practical justification of the method are discussed.Keywords
