Quantifying the effect of eccentric ruthenium plaque placement on tumor volume dose
CONCLUSIONS: Eccentric plaque placement reduces the radiation dose delivered to choroidal tumors. Both tumor (thickness, diameter) and plaque (size, location) characteristics are important D98% modulators. Further investigation of the effect of these characteristics and dose to organs at risk is essential.PMID:38230400 | PMC:PMC10789163 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.133614
