Background and purpose Inadvertent heart and coronary arteries (CA) irradiation may
increase the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients receiving thoracic irradiation.
To date, the entity of cardiac-related CA displacement and the possible margins to be used
for planning organs at risk volume (PRV) have been poorly described. Aim of this study was
to quantify CA displacement and to estimate PRV through the use of ECG-gated computed
tomography (CT) scans. Material and methods Eight patients received an ECG-gated …
