A phantom study on feasibility of manual field-in-field clinical implementation for total body irradiation and comparison of midplane dose with different bilateral TBI techniques
Abstract:Objective:
The aim of this study is to implement a new treatment technique in total body irradiation (TBI) using the manual field-in-field-TBI (MFIF-TBI) technique and dosimetrically verifying its results with respect to compensator-based TBI (CB-TBI) and open field TBI technique.
Materials and Methods:
A rice flour phantom (RFP) was placed on TBI couch with knee bent position at 385 cm source to surface distance. Midplane depth (MPD) was calculated for skull, umbilicus… Show more
