Following is a widely accepted set of clinical management guidelines based on recommendations by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) (16): 1. Pacemaker-implanted patients should never be treated with a betatron. 2. A patient's coronary and pacemaker status must be evaluated by a cardiologist before and soon after completion of therapy. 3. The pacemaker should always be kept outside the machine-collimated radiation beam during treatment and during the taking of portal films.
