Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to demonstrate that Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH), the technique used at the University of North Carolina (UNC) for left-side breast cancer radiation therapy, can reduce side effects to the heart.
Primary Outcome
Cardiac perfusion will be assessed using SPECT cardiac perfusion scans pre- and 6 months post-radiation. Any post-radiation summed-rest score (SRS) \> 0 will be counted as a perfusion defect in the calculation of the perfusion defect rate.
Interventions
- OTHER Cardiac SPECT perfusion scan
