Impact of Respiratory Motion on the Skin Dose for Breast Cancer in Tomotherapy: A Study in the In-house Moving Phantom

Conclusion: The skin dose was reduced under dynamic conditions due to breathing motion. The skin flash method with TomoDirect 2L or virtual bolus application with 1.0 cm thickness was useful for maintaining skin dose following the prescription by compensating for intrafraction movement due to respiratory motion for breast cancer in tomotherapy.PMID:37774753 | DOI:10.1177/15330338231197520
