Total body irradiation (TBI) is an important component of conditioning regimens for Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Interstitial pneumonitis (IP) and other pulmonary disorders are known regimen-related complications. The incidence of IP is related to the dose rate and dose fractionation; however, there is a paucity of clinical data regarding the optimal dose fractionation. This retro...
