Reproducibility of deep inspiration breath-hold technique for left-side breast cancer with respiratory monitoring device, Abches

CONCLUSION: Our study showed that DIBH using Abches can be performed with good target reproducibility of less than 3 mm with proper breath-hold practice, whereas the heartbeat-derived reproducibility of the cardiac position is poor and needs to be monitored carefully during treatment simulation.PMID:35018712 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.13529
