Clinical Impact - Conversion
•
PB Algorithm is not able to account for the electron transport in
lung tissue
→
underestimate penumbra width and overestimate
dose to the lung
•
Dosimetric parameters for lung injury (like the MLD and V20)
calculated with the two algorithms, are strongly correlated thus
allowing a straightforward conversion of these parameters.
