Abstract
Planning with PTVs generated from MRI data showed no clinically significant differences from planning with PTVs generated from CT with respect to PTV and doses to organs at risk. Prone positioning within this study reduced mean lung dose and whole heart volumes but increased mean heart and contralateral breast doses compared with supine.
