Dosimetric Impact of Voluntary Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) in Mediastinal Hodgkin Lymphomas: A Comparative Evaluation of Three Different Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Delivery Methods Using Voluntary DIBH and Free Breathing Techniques

Dosimetric Impact of Voluntary Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) in Mediastinal Hodgkin Lymphomas: A Comparative Evaluation of Three Different Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Delivery Methods Using Voluntary DIBH and Free Breathing Techniques

Hodgkin lymphomas are radiosensitive and curable tumors that often involve the mediastinum. However, the application of radiation therapy to the mediastinum is associated with late effects including cardiac and pulmonary toxicities and secondary cancers. The adoption of conformal IMRT and deep inspi...
