In addition, primitive dosimetry techniques, extended RT fields, and high RT doses may be significant for the development of RIMF. 7 Even with the support of new RT technologies and regimens, such as image-guided radiotherapy and dimensional dosimetry, an association between RT and the incidence of cardiovascular mortality seems to exist. 8 The RT dose that is delivered to the heart should be reduced to prevent cardiac toxicity.
