Abstract
Breast cancer remains a leading global health issue for women, External Beam Radiotherapy is commonly used post-surgery but often causes acute skin reactions. Accurate calculating superficial doses remains difficult despite Treatment planning system (TPS) advancements, due to particle equilibrium complexities and near-surface modeling limitations. skin dose measurement is critical for effective treatment and minimizing side effects. This study aims to calculate skin doses in breast cancer patients using TLD chips and compare them with TPS-calculated doses. The comparison includes single and dual isocenter techniques for key region such as match-line, nipple, under the MLC, supraclavicular and out of field like in cardiac regions with two different machine COMPACT and ONCOR.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
