About this Divi

A patient comes to the hospital for radiation therapy with breath held. This is also called DIBH, which stands for Deep-Inspiration-Breath-Hold. This technique requires the patient to take a deep breath and hold it. Irradiation of the chest or chest wall takes place.

In this Divi, patients are given information about the CT scan and radiation. They also receive information about preparation and aftercare after treatment.
