Effects of gas-filled temporary breast tissue expanders on radiation dose from modulated rotational photon beams

This study therefore builds on previous investigations of the dosimetric effects of gas-filled TTEs in static photon and electron beams, by examining the effects of these implants on dose distributions from common modulated rotational treatment techniques; volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and helical tomotherapy (HT).
