During this process, patient positioning, planning references, and the field of view are defined. Based on this CT scan the target volumes can be delineated. In this chapter we discuss key issues in the simulation procedure for breast cancer radiation planning.engRadiation therapyBreast cancerRadiation planningSimulation procedurebook part10.1007/978-3-030-91170-6_18
