2 Fig. 1 (a) Diagram depicting measurement Points A, B, C and D on the contralateral breast (3 cm from the nipple in four cardinal directions); Point E at the contralateral mid axilla; and Point F at the suprasternal notch, and (b) diagram depicting build-up domes used for in vivo measurements, adapted from Lonski et al [30].

3 Fig. 2 (a) Doses from TPS calculations and TLD measurements as a function of distance from the field edge at out-of-field regions for eleven breast cancer patients treated with ipsilateral whole breast radiotherapy; and (b) ratios of TPS calculated dose: TLD measured dose as a function of distance from the field edge.
