Optimization and auto-segmentation of a high risk cardiac zone for heart sparing in breast cancer radiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: a 3.5 cm-wide HRCZ is a reliable LADCA surrogate for breast radiotherapy. Applying maximum dose constraints to the HRCZ could limit LADCA exposure. Auto-segmentation algorithms can reliably delineate HRCZ. PMID: 33007352 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
