Dosimetric evaluation of surface‐guided tattoo‐free approach for right sided whole‐breast irradiation
A SGRT based tattoo-free setup approach was clinically evaluated and compared to a kV orthogonal imaging-based approach for whole breast RT treatment. It was found that the tattoo-free setup approach is acceptable in treatment setup accuracy and dosimetric coverage. Caution needs to be paid to patient movement during setup and treatment to ensure the safety and efficacy of the approach.
