Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine if an alternative imaging protocol done at the time of radiotherapy treatments for patients with breast cancer can improve accuracy in patient set-up.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- To measure the difference in accuracy of a breast imaging protocol that includes a large anterior EPI in detecting set-up errors outside of tolerance as compared to the current standard breast imaging protocols.
- timeFrame
- Will be measured on days 1, 2 and 3 of radiation therapy and possibly day 4 if adjustments of the EPI where required.
Secondary outcomes (1)
- measure
- What effect does the addition of a larger anterior EPI have on detection of setup errors in the medial/lateral, anterior/posterior, or superior/inferior directions and at what frequency do these errors occur in clinical practice.
- timeFrame
- Will be measured on days 1, 2 and 3 of radiation therapy and possibly day 4 if adjustments of the EPI where required.

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients (male or female) receiving tangential breast/chest wall radiotherapy only, or three or four field breast/chest wall and nodal radiotherapy will be eligible. Exclusion Criteria: * Those patients receiving partial breast treatment, those patients requiring an electron match field, those on another breast cancer radiotherapy trial, those who require radiotherapy using deep inspiration breath hold or multi-field intensity modulated radiotherapy, and all non-breast cancer patients will be excluded.
