Deep inspiration breath-hold reduces esophageal dose in spinal stereotactic body radiotherapy: A feasibility study

We aimed to assess whether deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) could reduce esophageal dose by spinal stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). In 25 patients with thoracic DIBH CT, the vertebral–esophageal distance significantly increased at T2–T9, greatest at Th7 (median 2.1 mm). Simulated SBRT plans...
