Thus, no clinical guidelines have mentioned the feasibility of total body irradiation (TBI) with a CIED directly. The purpose of this work was to study a feasible and safe condition for TBI using a CIED. Eighteen CIEDs were directly irradiated by a 6-MV X-ray beam, where a non-neutron producible beam was employed for the removal of any neutron contribution to CIED malfunction. Irradiation up to 10\u00a0Gy in accumulated dose was conducted with a 100-cGy\/min dose rate, followed by up to 20\u00a0Gy at 200\u00a0cGy\/min. An irradiation test of whether inappropriate ventricular shock therapy was triggered or not was also performed by using a 6-MV beam of 5, 10, 20 and 40\u00a0cGy\/min to two CIEDs. No malfunction was observed during irradiation up to 20\u00a0Gy at 100 and 200\u00a0cGy\/min without activation of shock therapy. These results were compared with typical TBI, suggesting that a CIED in TBI will not encounter malfunction because the prescribed dose and the dose rate required for TBI are much safer than those used in this experiment. Several inappropriate shock therapies were, however, observed even at 10\u00a0cGy\/min if activated. The present result suggested that TBI was feasible and safe if a non-neutron producible beam was employed at low dose-rate without activation of shock therapy, where it was not inconsistent with clinical and non-clinical data in the literature. The feasibility of TBI while using a CIED was discussed for the first time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jrr\/rrab088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T07:24:50Z","timestamp":1631085890000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Study of feasible and safe condition for total body irradiation using cardiac implantable electronic devices"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Hiroaki","family":"Matsubara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takatomo","family":"Ezura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University Hospital, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaichiro","family":"Hashimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kumiko","family":"Karasawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teiji","family":"Nishio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Tsuneda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021093005432698700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1118\/1.597259","article-title":"Management of radiation oncology patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers: report of AAPM Task Group No. 34.
