Summary

Study aims to determine if functional lung avoidance based on perfusion single photon emission (SPECT)/CT scan, improves toxicity outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. Functional avoidance implies a dose plan that takes functional distribution in the lung into account, and avoids highly functional lung volumes sparing them from radiation.

Conditions

  • Lung Cancer
  • Radiation-Induced Disorder
  • Radiation Pneumonitis
  • Pulmonary Disease
  • Lung Function Decreased

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Single-photon-emission CT scan

SPECT/CT scan is an established functional modality used in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. SPECT/CT scan images pulmonary circulation, where perfused areas equate with normal functional lung
