Abstract
Prone positioning on a belly board during pelvic IMRT consistently reduces the volume of SB that receives a broad range of radiation doses. Prone IMRT is associated with interfraction dose variation to SB that is similar to that of supine positioning. These findings suggest that prone positioning with daily image guided radiation therapy is an effective method for maximizing SB sparing during pelvic IMRT.
