We report on a comparative dosimetrical study between deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH)
and shallow breathing (SB) in prone crawl position for photon and proton radiotherapy of …

Prone positioning for whole-breast irradiation (WBI) reduces dose to organs at risk, but
reduces set-up speed, precision, and comfort. We aimed to improve these problems by …

Objective: Breast cancer radiotherapy is increasingly delivered supine with multiple, short
breath-holds. There may be heart and lung sparing advantages for locoregional breast …

We report on a dosimetrical study comparing supine (S) and prone-crawl (P) position for
radiotherapy of whole breast (WB) and loco-regional lymph node regions, including the …

Background and purpose Breast cancer patients receiving radiation are traditionally
positioned with both arms up, but this may not be feasible or comfortable for all patients. We …

Purpose We report on a dosimetrical study of three patient positions (supine, prone dive,
and prone crawl) and four irradiation techniques for whole‐breast irradiation (WBI): wedged …

Materials and methods For the literature review the databases of PubMed, Cochrane and
Google Scholar were used. The search terms were defined, and the search was performed …

Our recently developed prone crawl position (PCP) for radiotherapy of breast cancer
patients with lymphatic involvement showed promising preliminary data and it is being …

Background In early-stage breast cancer, the cornerstone of treatment is surgery. After
breast-conserving surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy has shown to improve locoregional control …

Although many authors stated that a user-centred design approach in medical device
development has added values, the most common research approach within healthcare is …
