Prone setup has been advocated to improve organ sparing in whole breast radiotherapy without impairing breast coverage. We evaluate the dosimetric advantage of prone setup for the right breast and look for predictors of the gain. Right breast cancer pati
Heat loss of newborns was 8.4 % higher in supine than in prone position (HL supine 1.80 vs HL prone 1.66 Watt/kg, p<0.01). This increased HL in supine position was mainly due to increased heat loss from the axillary sites, dependent on arm positioning, the R lower abdomen and the ...
demonstrated that at dose levels from 5 to 45 Gy (tested at 5 Gy increments) there was no statistically significant difference between irradiated volumes when comparing a prone setup study arm (N = 40) with a supine study arm (N = 43) using a 3DCRT planning strategy [14]. Our...
