Assessment of leakage dose in vivo in patients undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer

Background and purpose: Accurate quantification of the relatively small radiation doses delivered to untargeted regions during breast irradiation in patients with breast cancer is of increasing clinical interest for the purpose of estimating long-term radiation-related risks. Out-of-field dose calcu...
