Surface and superficial dose dosimetric verification for postmastectomy radiotherapy
Medical Dosimetry, 05/08/2012
Shiau AC et al. – When the surface and superficial regions are not high–risk areas, an intensity–modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan with tangential beams and 6–MV photon energy can provide uniform dose distributions within the planning target volume (PTV), spare the skin reaction, and deliver sufficient doses to the chest wall at depths >1 mm.
