Abstract

Introduction: Conventional breast planning generally involves a wedged tangential pair in which dose homogeneity can be improved by using filler fields, sup-inf wedges or increased energy. In order to meet ICRU planning guidelines [1,2] these may become complex and time consuming. IMRT has been shown to achieve better dose homogeneity and lower toxicity [3,4]. The aim of this investigation is to determine an IMRT technique, able to meet ICRU constraints within a planning time comparable to conventional planning.
