Mathematical determination of setup parameters for carcinoma breast cases

  • 1. Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad (India)

Description

Determining proper patient set up parameters like IFD, Gantry angles and field width in Ca Breast are prime important to achieve precise treatment. In a center where 3D Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) and simulator are not available to determine the set up parameters, contouring of target region is essential which is time consuming. The mathematical formula described here provides instant patient set up parameters using machine parameters. (author)
