Impact of the Extremities Positioning on the Set-Up Reproducibility for the Total Marrow Irradiation Treatment

Total marrow (lymph node) irradiation (TMI/TMLI) delivery requires more time than standard radiotherapy treatments. The patient’s extremities, through the joints, can experience large movements. The reproducibility of TMI/TMLI patients’ extremities was evaluated to find the best positioning and redu...
