Impact of respiratory motion on dose distribution in SIB‐SBRT for lung cancer
Abstract Purpose Respiratory motion is a major source of dose uncertainty in lung cancer radiotherapy. The dose distribution of simultaneous integrated boost‐stereotactic body radiotherapy (SIB‐SBRT) is inhomogeneous and is significantly impacted by respiratory motion for lung cancer. The effect of respiratory motion on SIB‐SBRT was investigated with a
