Abstract
To minimize anaesthesia related risks during craniospinal irradiation in children, treatment in supine position would be preferable. Verification especially of the cervical three-field junction causes problems, because direct visual control is not possible. We present clinical experiences with a new verification technique with all three fields exposed on one single film.
