Significant reductions in heart and lung doses using semi lateral decubitus techniques for left sided breast cancer patients: A comparative dosimetric study with supine techniques
Introduction: Various treatment techniques as breath hold techniques have been developed to spare the heart and lung in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. Purpose: to compare the heart and lung dosimetric parameters of semi lateral decubitus technique with and without deep inspi...
