Unsuspected abnormalities noted on CT treatment-planning scans obtained for breast and chest wall irradiation.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2001; (3): 723-5
Three-dimensional treatment planning and CT simulation is widely used for the treatment of a variety of cancers. At the Stanford University Medical Center, a treatment-planning CT scan is obtained before breast irradiation to optimize the dose distribution to the treated breast and to limit radiation to the opposite breast, heart, and lung. In this paper, we review the incidental findings discovered on a careful review of these scans.
