Abstrakt		In Slovenia, roentgentherapy for malignant and non-malignant diseases was first performed in 1923, in the newly established Department of Radiology Ljubljana (later on called the Institute of Radiology) of the General Hospital by Dr. Alojz Kunst. In the beginning, irradiation treatment was performed with the machine otherwise used for diagnostic purposes. Another one was Dr. Benjamin Ipavic: in 1925 he purchased a therapeutic X-ray machine for the needs of a private gynecological sanatorium in Maribor, and later on forwarded roentgentherapy to the Roentgenological Institute of Maribor General Hospital. In 1938 the County Institute for Research and Treatment of Neoplasms (later on renamed Institute of Oncology-O.I.) was established in Ljubljana; it was equipped with one high-volt-age X-ray machine for distant irradiation of deep sites, and two low-voltage units for close irradiation of superficial sites. In 1947, such a machine for close irradiation of the skin was obtained by the Dermatovenerological Department of the General Hospital in Maribor, whereas the University Hospital of Dermatology in Ljubljana purchased it in 1952. By OI functioning, in 1959 the Roentgenological Institut in Ljubljana ceased to perform radiation treatment. The Department of Radiology abandoned such therapy two years ago while the Dermatovenerological Department had been performing it all until one year back. Thus, roentgen therapy is presently carried out exclusively at the Institute of Oncology and at the University Hospital of Dermatology in Ljubljana. At Ol, until recently all malignantand non-malignant diseases have been treated by classical method using a high-voltage X-ray machine. Otherwise, since 1955 mainly deep irradiation with linear accelerators has been used; these machines still use X-rays though of much greater penetration potential.
