Physics Course — Dosimetric considerations for lung cancer planning
Program Code:
090
Date:
Friday, April 13, 2012
SPEAKER:
Indrin Julian Chetty, PhD
Description
Review the basic physics issues related to dose calculations in low density, lung-like, regions. Discuss the concerns related to lung tumor dose coverage, with special emphasis on small tumor sizes. Review dose calculation accuracy with different algorithms for lung planning/dose calculation. Present approaches to mitigate tumor underdosage when using simplistic calculation algorithms for lung cancer planning.
