Nettet3. jul. 2014 · Breath-holding techniques reduce the amount of radiation received by cardiac structures during tangential-field left breast radiotherapy. With these techniques, patients hold their breath while radiotherapy is delivered, pushing the heart down and away from the radiotherapy field. NettetA series of studies from Denmark showed that a reduction of 80%–90% in the cardiac V 50% can be achieved by deep inspiration breath holding compared with free breathing, ...

NettetModeled risk of ischemic heart disease following left breast irradiation with deep inspiration breath hold RT with DIBH may provide breast cancer survivors a clinically significant reduction in the risk of IHD. RT with DIBH may provide breast cancer survivors a clinically significant reduction in the risk of IHD. NettetThis retrospective study of left breast radiation therapy (RT) investigates the correlation between anatomical parameters and dose to heart or/and left lung in deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) compared to free-breathing (FB) technique. NettetBreast region of interest (ROI) definitions for whole‐breast treatments: (a) the ROI in left‐sided native breast treatment and (b) the ROI for right‐sided implanted breast treatment. The breast deep‐inspiration breath‐hold (DIBH) surface‐guided radiotherapy (SGRT) procedure is mostly applied to treat left‐sided breast patients but is also used … headers paint
