Exploring appropriate offset values for pencil beam and Monte Carlo dose optimization in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy encompassing the effects of respiration and tumor location

Evaluation of dose optimization using the Pencil Beam (PB) and Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms may allow physicists to apply dosimetric offsets to account for inaccuracies of the PB algorithm for lung cancer treatment with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). 20 cases of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NS...
