Combined application of block and modulation factors to reduce the volume of the low dose area in helical tomotherapy plans for lung cancer
To balance target volume coverage (high dose), dose distribution uniformity, and treatment duration while reducing low-dose irradiation to normal lung tissue, we recommend implementing Directional block with an MF range of 3-4 to optimize the HT plan for patients with unilateral lung cancer.
