Abstract
The 60% isodose plan was considered the best plan in this analysis because of the lower comparative dosimetric factors in normal lung tissue (including V20 and MLD) and the higher comparative mean PTV and internal target volume doses achieved, along with good conformity index values. In clinical use, accurate estimation and commissioning should be performed for the dose distribution prior to selecting a plan. Further investigation is warranted to determine whether the calculated dosimetric advantages result in improved outcomes.
