Image-based lung functional radiotherapy planning for non-small cell lung cancer

This simulation study assessed the feasibility and impact of incorporating additional information from lung perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) into intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this simulation study, data of 13 patients with stage I–III NSCLC previously treated by radio(chemo)therapy were used. The SPECT was fused together with radiotherapy...
