Table 5 Acceptance of the DIBH method by the patient (at the occasions of RT fractions 6 and 25) and the radiographer (at the occasions of planning CT and RT fractions 6 and 25) was scored in 37 cases; the patients answered the same 3 questions, the radiographers the same 4 questions each time. Score 0: worst, score 3: best; scores to specific questions were added up
