A novel AP/PA total body irradiation technique using abutting IMRT fields at extended SSD

CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a promising TBI technique using abutting IMRT fields at extended SSD. The patient is in a comfortable recumbent position with good reproducibility and less motion during treatment. An additional benefit of this technique is that full 3D dose distribution is available from the TPS with a DVH summary for organs of interest. The technique allows precise sparing of lungs and kidneys and can be executed in any linac room.PMID:38425126 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14213
