Variation in the Lung Inhomogeneity Correction Factor with Beam Energy Clinical Implications

In order to determine the magnitude of the dosimetry error introduced by failing to correct for increased transmission through lung tissue in treating thoracic malignancies, measurements in a phantom were taken using different field sizes, inhomogeneity thicknesses and photon qualities. The results...
