Résumé
The number of patients with metallic implant and treated with radiotherapy is constantly increasing. These hardware are responsible for the deterioration in the quality of the CT images used at each stage of the radiation therapy, during delineation, dosimetry and dose delivery. We present the update of the recommendations of the French society of oncological radiotherapy on the pros and cons of the different methods, existing and under evaluation, which limit the impact of metallic implants on the quality and safety of radiation treatments.
