Abstract
The maximum dose to the LAD was as high as 53Â Gy, suggesting an increased risk of cardiac morbidity. This study underscores the value of contouring the LAD and the value of the breath hold technique to reduce maximum cardiac doses. Smaller CT cuts (2.5Â mm) can improve contouring. Larger studies with long-term follow up are needed to determine the radiation tolerance dose for the LAD.
