An improved breast irradiation technique using three-dimensional geometrical information and intensity modulation

Background and purpose: In spite of the complex geometry of the breast, treatment planning for tangential breast irradiation is conventionally performed using two-dimensional patient anatomy information. The purpose of this work was to develop a new technique which takes the three-dimensional (3D) p...
