Abstract
Prone positioning with the use of a belly board (PBB) is an effective method for displacing small bowel from target structures during pelvic radiation therapy. Despite consistent dosimetric advantages with prone positioning, intra-fraction variability remains a concern, especially in obese patients. We compared the variability of prone and supine positioning from simulation through treatment and investigated the effect of body habitus on this variation.
