The three-dimensional dose, volume, and outcome data for lung are reviewed in detail. The
rate of symptomatic pneumonitis is related to many dosimetric parameters, and there are no …

Task Group 101 of the AAPM has prepared this report for medical physicists, clinicians, and
therapists in order to outline the best practice guidelines for the external‐beam radiation …

A method for sterotactic high-dose radiotherapy of malignancies in the abdomen has been
developed. A stereotactic frame for the body has been developed and a method for fixation …

Purpose: To determine the relation between the incidence of radiation pneumonitis and the
three-dimensional dose distribution in the lung. Methods and Materials: In five institutions …

To be able to predict the impact of any radiotherapy treatment the physics of radiation
interactions and the expected biological effect for any radiotherapy treatment situation (dose …

Purpose: To relate lung dose-volume histogram-based factors to symptomatic radiation
pneumonitis (RP) in patients with lung cancer undergoing 3-dimensional (3D) radiotherapy …

Purpose: To compare different normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models to
predict the incidence of radiation pneumonitis on the basis of the dose distribution in the …

Purpose: To correctly evaluate realistic treatment plans in terms of absorbed dose to the
clinical target volume (CTV), equivalent uniform dose (EUD), and tumor control probability …

Purpose: Knowledge about the mobility of organs relative to the bony anatomy is of great
importance when preparing and verifying conformal radiotherapy. The conventional …

Background and purpose To investigate potential associations between dose to heart (sub)
structures and non-cancer death, in early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients …
