Segmentation of IMRT plans for radical lung radiotherapy delivery with the step-and-shoot technique

The purpose of this work was to determine a segmentation protocol for the treatment of localized non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) that is as effective as possible while practically simple and hence robust to known practical inaccuracies. This study focu...
