ABSTRACT
We aimed to evaluate dosimetric effects of ipsilateral shoulder position variations (ISPVs) in sitting-positioned boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for lower neck tumor. The ISPVs were simulated using deformed shoulder images that can simulate arbitrary shape. The dose-volume parameters for the tumor in the rotated shoulder plans considerably varied compared with that for the mucosa. Even in a small number of cases, these differences were clearly observed among patients. The ISPVs in lower neck BNCT have great dosimetric effects.
