Abdominal compression evaluation for abdominal and lower lobe lung SABR using a compression belt system

Abdominal compression (AC) is a simple and effective method of reducing diaphragmatic motion and is widely used in abdominal stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) delivery. It is not a new method of restricting motion; however, with the increase in SABR treatments there has been much interest in adopting this technique. Furthermore, there is some evidence […]

Verification imaging for breast and nodal breast diseases: a Varian user’s experience

The complexity of radiotherapy for breast cancer has increased in recent years with the introduction of more conformal techniques such as IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy) and VMAT (volumetric modulated arc therapy). Furthermore, sequential treatments such as photon boosts are now increasingly integrated into the whole breast treatment. MV imaging was, and is for many departments, […]
