Abstract: Objective The aim of this study is to present two novel technique?Lying on position and rotational board TSEI in which uniform dose to the whole body as well as the soles and vertex of scalp can be achieved in one electron beam treatment fraction. Methods Patients are treated with two groups in prone and supine position by leaning on inner rotational board in prone and supine position, each group can further be separated into two subgroup with tilting and rotation positions for treatment. By incorporating all these setting on the aswirl board with the optimal gantry angle, the patient will final accumulate compensated dosages on whole body surface. Results The dose uniformity for the rotational board?TSET or Lying on position could be control within ±10%. Conclusions The two TSEItechnique?Lying on and Rotational board TSEI techniques presented in this study is able to deliver a uniform dose to the patient’s skin surface as well as to the vertex and the soles all in one time, eliminating the troubles of having to further boost fields for these two regions when using the Stanford Six Field Technique.
