This study demonstrates an innovative integrated method combining the left ventricular 20 regional doses with SPECT MPI which shows that left-sided breast cancer patients receive a higher subvolume dose than right-sided breast cancer patients. Further research is needed to confirm the potential impact on heart function after radiotherapy on both sides.
