Feasibility evaluation of prone breast irradiation with the Sagittilt(©) system including residual-intrafractional error assessment.

CONCLUSION: The Sagittilt(©) system seems to be feasible for breast irradiation and well-tolerated by patients, acceptable to radiographers and reasonable in terms of treatment times. Set-up accuracy was comparable with other prone systems; residual errors need further investigations. PMID: 27396903 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
