Total skin electron therapy in the lying‐on‐the‐floor position using a customized flattening filter to accommodate frail patients
A total skin electron (TSE) floor technique is presented for treating patients who are unable to safely stand for extended durations. A customized flattening filter is used to eliminate the need for field junctioning, improve field uniformity, and reduce setup time. The flattening filter is construc...
