LungEUD1 Analysis GTY Chen Ashley Rubenstein et al September 28, 2010
Observations • With post field, there is range perturbation distal to target during motion • More normal lung is irradiated • Distal lung density is altered; so deeper geometric penetration. • Therefore EUD could change in 4D planning vs 3D planning. Magnitude depend on degree of motion and compensator design.

Plan • 4 field plan • Quite robust to motion! • Use more fields in proton lung!
