A Breast bridge may be used to:

Using a breast bridge is primarily intended to help immobilize the breast tissue during radiation therapy. The device is designed to create a secure position for the patient, minimizing movement and ensuring that the targeted area remains consistent throughout treatment. This immobilization is crucial for delivering precise radiation doses to the breast tissue while protecting surrounding healthy structures from unnecessary exposure.

Maintaining stability during treatment is essential for achieving accurate dose delivery and enhancing the effectiveness of the therapy. Proper immobilization helps reduce the risk of complications and improves the quality of the overall treatment process.

In contrast, options such as elevating the chest wall or immobilizing the affected arm may provide some benefits but do not directly address the primary objective of the breast bridge, which is focused on the breast tissue itself. Similarly, while separating breast tissue from the chest wall can be advantageous for other treatments, it does not encapsulate the primary purpose of the device.
