A simple technique for an accurate shielding of the lungs during total body irradiation
PURPOSE: During total body irradiation (TBI), customized shielding blocks are positioned in front of the lungs to reduce radiation dose. The difficulty is to accurately position the blocks to cover the entire lungs. A new technique based on Computed Tomography (CT) simulation was developed to determ...
