Abstract

In stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung tumors, dosimetric problems arise from: 1) the limited accuracy in the dose calculation algorithms in treatment planning systems, and 2) the motions with the respiration of the tumor during treatment.

Longitudinal dose distributions have been calculated with Monte Carlo simulation (MC), a pencil beam algorithm (PB) and a c
