Impact of lung density on the lung dose estimation for radiotherapy of breast cancer
Background and purpose: To investigate the impact of the clinical implementation of a deterministic particle transport method on the lung dose evaluation for radiotherapy of breast cancer focusing on dosimetric effects of the lung density. Material and methods: Fourteen patients with left sided brea...
