A Novel Setup Technique for Radiation Treatment of a Severely Obese Patient With a Primary Brain Tumor
Modern external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) techniques rely on the accurate positioning of the patient using the treatment couch. These motorized couches have weight limits that have decreased over time and are not able to support severely obese patients requiring EBRT. We aimed to develop a techn...
