Deep inspiration breath-hold technique in left-sided breast cancer radiation therapy: evaluating cardiac contact distance as a predictor of cardiac exposure for patient selection
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) over a free-breathing (FB) technique to minimize cardiac radiation exposure in radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer. Also, to better select patients for DIBH, the correlation between card...

| Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) over a free-breathing (FB) technique to minimize cardiac radiation exposure in radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer. Also, to better select patients for DIBH, the correlation between cardiac contact distance (CCD) and cardiac dose was assessed. |
