摘要

•kV x-rays can deliver an effective low-dose radiotherapy to a COVID-19 patient.•Suitable field arrangements result in a homogeneous dose distribution to the lungs.•kV x-rays low-dose radiotherapy could be a treatment option until vaccines reach those regions.•Low-income countries could benefit from this immediate treatment option.
