[Positioning for postoperative irradiation of patients nephrectomized for cancer--prone or supine position?].
Twelve nephrectomized patients were examined by computed tomography in prone and supine position. The distances necessary for irradiation planning were measured in order to estimate which position is more favorable for irradiation. The advantages of prone position in comparison to supine position seem uncertain and do not outweigh its disadvantages.
