Abstract

This paper presents to the dosimetrist audience an integrated feathering technique for craniospinal irradiation which improves dosimetry, physics, physician and therapist efficiencies while increasing patient safety and decreasing portal imaging time. This technique has been presented by other authors in physics journals stressing technical and quality assurance aspects, this article is presented to the treatment planners with a focus on the planning process including field design and weighting, efficiency improvements and patient safety.
