The Alderson Breast Dosimetry System (ABDS™) are breast cups formed of a transparent, semi-rigid plastic material.
Data on increased skin dose due to ipsilateral cup were submitted to the FDA. The skin dose due to the cup material was found to be substantially less than for other positioning devices. The FDA has issued a 510 (k) marketing clearance for the Treatment Brassiere.
Cup selection begins by measuring a patient’s chest breadth when supine and wearing her clothing brassiere. This measurement indicates the size group (S, M, L, XL) containing the correct cup. Left and right cups are not interchangeable.
The ipsilateral cup is positioned repeatedly on the patient by markings made on the patient’s skin through small holes at the medial, lateral and superior aspects of the cup flange.
Each cup is labeled to identify size group (S, M, L, XL), body Side (R or L), and breast volume.
