What is it about?
Equations to help determine dosage parameters for a clinically relevant in situ radiation procedure to reduce viral loads in patients. The technology selectively inactivates virus particles by forced oscillations arising from Structure Resonant Energy Transfer (SRET) thereby reducing infectivity and disease progression.

Why is it important?
Using our equations and personal clinical throat swab Ct value respectively; in situ patient-specific treatment durations can be determined to inactivate up to 100% of virus particles in the throat-lung lining, using irradiations within the 200 W/m^2 safety standard stipulated by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Perspectives
The article provides practically applicable parameters for effective clinical adaptation of this technique to the current pandemic at different levels of healthcare infrastructure and disease prevention besides enabling rapid future viral pandemics response.
