Abstract:
In the project, a computer program is developed in the Matlab® environment that serves as a tool to evaluate the evolution of the lung volume of COVID-19 patients treated with low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT). The developed simulation software was then used to study, through segmentation, the development of lung volume during LD-RT treatment for its reduction of inflammation. Subsequently, these values have been compared with those expected by the Sant Joan University Hospital to see the correlation. These results have helped to verify the correct operation of the program. In addition, it has been proven that there is a clear anti-inflammatory effect.
