Examination of the best head tilt angle to reduce the parotid gland dose maintaining a safe level of lens dose in whole‐brain radiotherapy using the four‐field box technique

The parotid gland is recognized as a major‐risk organ in whole‐brain irradiation; however, the beam delivery from the left and right sides cannot reduce the parotid gland dose. The four‐field box technique using a head‐tilting device has been reported to reduce the parotid gland dose by excluding it...
