2009年5月1日 · Purpose: To assess whether using an anterior oblique supraclavicular (SCV) field with a posterior axillary boost (PAB) field is an optimal technique for targeting axillary (AX) …

2024年10月8日 · PAB field was used historically based on the assumption that the axillary LNs lie deeper than the SCLV nodes (based on pre-CT era). This study shows that the dose to the …

Coverage of the deeper axillary bed may result in “hot spots” anteriorly, so some radiation oncologists will include a fourth field, a “posterior axillary boost” or PAB, to cover the posterior …

In cases where adequate axillary coverage is not achieved with the approach outlined above, a posterior axillary boost (PAB) field can be used (10-20 cGy per day) to supplement the SCLV …

2009年5月1日 · To assess whether using an anterior oblique supraclavicular (SCV) field with a posterior axillary boost (PAB) field is an optimal technique for targeting axillary (AX) lymph …

2013年12月1日 · Five techniques for the treatment of SC and levels I, II, and III AX lymph nodes were evaluated for 10 patients selected at random: a direct anterior field (AP); an anterior to …

The results of this literature review show that depending on dose distribution and patient’s anatomy, a PAB field is employed to supplement axillary dose. The PAB field provides a good …

2008年9月1日 · To assess whether the historical standard technique of using an oblique anterior SC and AX field (SCV) with a traditional posterior AX boost field (PAB) is an optimal method to …

The OptPAB technique produced moderate hot spots while maintaining a similar planning target volume (PTV) coverage, irradiated volume, and dose to organs at risk. This optimized …

In this analysis, we com-pared radiation dosimetry of an SCV field with PAB supple-ment with two alternative techniques to treat a predefined CT-delineated target based on CT: (1) SCV field …
