Reproducibility of deep inspiration breath hold for prone left-sided whole breast irradiation
BACKGROUND Investigating reproducibility and instability of deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) in the prone position to reduce heart dose for left-sided whole breast irradiation. METHODS Thirty patients were included and underwent 2 prone DIBH CT-scans during simulation. Overlap indices were calculated for the ipsilateral breast, heart and lungs to evaluate the anatomical reproducibility of ...
متن کاملDosimetric and clinical advantages of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) during radiotherapy of breast cancer
BACKGROUND To investigate the potential dosimetric and clinical benefits of Deep Inspiration Breath-Hold (DIBH) technique during radiotherapy of breast cancer compared with Free Breathing (FB). METHODS Eight left-sided breast cancer patients underwent a supervised breath hold during treatment. For each patient, two CT scans were acquired with and without breath hold, and virtual simulation wa...
متن کاملCardiac Dose Reduction with Deep-Inspiratory Breath Hold Technique of Radiotherapy for Left-Sided Breast Cancer
INTRODUCTION Different techniques of radiation therapy have been studied to reduce the cardiac dose in left breast cancer. AIM In this prospective dosimetric study, the doses to heart as well as other organs at risk (OAR) were compared between free-breathing (FB) and deep inspiratory breath hold (DIBH) techniques in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and opposed-tangent three-dimensional...
متن کاملVolumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) combined with deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) technique for adjuvant irradiation for cancer of the left breast
Purpose: We describe here the implementation of a very simple approach of combining Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) and the deep inspiration breath hold technique (DIBH) without any costly equipment, in order to reduce the dose at the heart and decrease the cardiotoxicity risk for left sided breast radiotherapy (RT). Methods and Materials: Forty nine patients were treated with the DIBH-VMAT techn...
متن کاملDeep Inspiration Breath Hold: Techniques and Advantages for Cardiac Sparing During Breast Cancer Irradiation
Historically, heart dose from left-sided breast radiotherapy has been associated with a risk of cardiac injury. Data suggests that there is not a threshold for the deleterious effects from radiation on the heart. Over the past several years, advances in radiation delivery techniques have reduced cardiac morbidity due to treatment. Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) is a technique that takes ad...
