Tattoo-less chest wall and regional nodal irradiation using surface imaging
These findings indicate that utilizing the tattoo-less setup method with AlignRT provides sufficient accuracy and speed to potentially supplant the use of surface tattoos in lymph node positive and high-risk breast cancer patients requiring chest wall and regional lymph node radiation. Further investigations involving larger patient cohorts will further inform whether surface imaging can wholly replace tattoo-based approaches.
