Abstract
Even when using the different prescription methods, the prescription to the PTV is not consistent for type B-algorithm based dose calculations if clinical studies should produce coherent data. This combination leads to patients' GTV with low lung density possibly receiving very high dose compared to patients with higher lung density. The only solution seems to remove the classical PTV concept for type B dose calculations in lung.
