CT ventilation image-guided helical Tomotherapy at sparing functional lungs for locally advanced lung cancer: analysis of dose-function metrics and the impact on pulmonary toxicity

CT ventilation image-guided helical Tomotherapy at sparing functional lungs for locally advanced lung cancer: analysis of dose-function metrics and the impact on pulmonary toxicity

Abstract Purpose CT ventilation image (CTVI)-guided radiotherapy that selectively avoids irradiating highly-functional lung regions has potential to reduce pulmonary toxicity. Considering Helical TomoTherapy (HT) has higher modulation capabilities, we investigated the capability and characteristic o...
