In the management of breast-conserving radiotherapy, computed tomography (CT) simulation is now commonly used to identify tumor bed while has difficulties defining precisely. We aimed to evaluate the impact of magnetic resonance (MR) and CT simulation on defining the postoperative tumor bed for breast-conserving radiotherapy in patients without the aid of surgical clips.
