Impact of prone versus supine positioning on small bowel dose with pelvic intensity modulated radiation therapy Open
Prone positioning on a belly board during pelvic IMRT consistently reduces the volume of SB that receives a broad range of radiation doses. Prone IMRT is associated with interfraction dose variation to SB that is similar to that of supine …
