Exclusion of emphysematous lung from dose-volume estimates of risk improves prediction of radiation pneumonitis

BACKGROUND: The risk factors for radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are unclear. Mean lung dose (MLD) and percentage of irradiated lung volume are common predictors of RP, but the most accurate dosimetric parameter has not been established. We hy...
