Cardiac Dose in Breath Hold Techniques

Created using ChatSlide

This presentation examines cardiac dose management in radiation therapy, emphasizing Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) techniques. It introduces radiation risks and the heart's displacement, comparing active and traditional breath holds. Through a PRISMA-informed systematic review, it collates data on Mean Heart Dose (MHD) and Mean Left Anterior Descending artery dose (MLAD), addressing methodologies and study variability. The findings indicate DIBH's efficacy in dose reduction,...
