Article Synopsis
- This UK study aimed to assess the accuracy and body image impact of ultraviolet (UV) tattoos versus conventional dark ink tattoos during breast/chest wall radiotherapy.
- In a randomized trial with 46 patients, results showed that UV tattoos had an accuracy level comparable to dark ink tattoos, with random errors below the desired threshold.
- Additionally, a higher percentage of patients with UV tattoos reported improvements in body image at 1 and 6 months after treatment, suggesting a psychological benefit from this tattoo type.
