Does your dosimetrist use skin flash for VMAT whole breast or RNI plans?
Please note that my question excludes VMAT PBI. There are papers describing VMAT breast techniques utilizing virtual bolus for skin flash and other papers that do not (notably MSKCC's published RNI technique). Does your planner use virtual bolus for skin flash? If not, why not?
