An observational study of post-operative volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) of breast cancer by immobilizing patients on All-in-One (AIO ™) solution breast and lung board without using thermoplastic mask: risk of collision of gantry with couch exists if acquisition of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is attempted for set-up verification

ConclusionPerforming CBCT for generating 3D images for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction may not be practical for patient set-up verification of post-operative radiotherapy of unilateral breast cancer patients positioned supine on breast and lung board.
