Off-axis point localization for mantle fields: the St. Jude experience.
Mantle field irradiation is a common occurence in pediatric settings. At St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, precise locations have been determined for the five off-axis points which are routinely used for mantle field calculations at our institution. This has helped to develop consistency between mantle field patients regarding off-axis point localization.
