Integrating subvolume dose and myocardial perfusion imaging parameters to assess the impact of radiation therapy on heart function in breast cancer patients: A comparative analysis between left ‐ and right‐sided breast cancer

ConclusionThis study demonstrates an innovative integrated method combining the left ventricular 20 regional doses with SPECT MPI which shows that left-sided breast cancer patients receive a higher subvolume dose than right-sided breast cancer patients. Further research is needed to confirm the potential impact on heart function after radiotherapy on both sides.
