Controlled Clinical Trial
Dosimetric comparison of free-breathing and deep inspiration breath-hold radiotherapy for lung cancer.
The goal of this work was to evaluate the potential benefit of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) compared to free breathing (FB) radiotherapy in a homogeneous population of patients with lung cancer. ⋯ DIBH improves the target conformity index and heart and lung dosimetry in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. The clinical implications of these findings should be confirmed.
