- Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) is a radiation therapy technique where patients take a deep breath during treatment and hold this breath while the radiation is delivered. By taking a deep breath, your lungs fill with air and your heart will move away from your chest--GREAT FOR LEFT BREAST CANCER PATIENTS.
