Kicking off the “Real World LDRT” miniseries sponsored by Xstrahl, Episode One/Part One takes us all the way back to 1895 and Wilhelm Roentgen aiming his newly discovered “X-rays” at his wife’s hand. Within 3 years, radiotherapy was treating arthritic conditions in Europe before coming to America in 1906. By 1930, the scientific literature contained more than 6,000 patients treated by LDRT for arthritis (and other degenerative inflammatory conditions) - with orthovoltage techniques accounting for most (if not all) reports. Today, a common concern preventing the use of radiotherapy for arthritis in every practice in America is the alleged “lack of evidence”...an odd complaint for one of the only therapies in use for ~125 years with tens of thousands of patients experiencing excellent outcomes.

Don’t believe me? That’s why this miniseries exists!
