Impact of CBCT frequency on target coverage and dose to the organs at risk in adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy
Abstract The current study aims to assess the effect of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) frequency during adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) on target volume coverage and dose to the organs at risk (OAR). 50 breast cancer patients receiving either non-hy...
