Computerized tomographic simulation compared with clinical mark-up in palliative radiotherapy: A prospective study
Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of computed tomographic (CT) planning in comparison to clinical mark-up (CM) for palliative radiation of chest wall metastases.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: In patients treated with CM for chest wall bone metastases (without conventional simulation/fluoroscopy), two consecutive planning CT scans were acquired with and without an external marker to delineate the CM treatment field. The two sets of scans were fused for …
