Abstract
To our knowledge, this is the first systematic investigation of functional avoidance in lung SAbR based on mapping and minimizing doses to individual bronchial segments. Our early results show that it is possible to substantially lower airway dosage. Such dosage reduction may potentially reduce the risk of radiation-induced airway injury, while satisfying clinically prescribed dosimetric objectives.
