CT images defines the radiation transport arena
•
Imaging sequence must be relevant for the irradiation technique
(breath hold, gating etc)
•
Movements may yield large artifacts, and hence their calculated
dose
In lung, the dose to a small dense object (tumor) covered by large
enough field margins is more determined by its size&chape than its
position!
Wrong shape – wrong dose!
Wrong place – likely correct dose!
