Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer of both men and women in the United States. Radiotherapy is frequently employed as part of the treatment. However, radiation must traverse surrounding regions of normal lung, potentially inducing pulmonary toxicity. Because these patients frequently have underlying lung disease, a radiation-induced decrement in lung function could be highly morbid or even fatal. It is well known that lung function is not uniform, with wide ranges of ventilation and perfusion levels throughout the lung. Currently radiation oncologists do not have the ability to account for this variation when generating treatment plans.
