Area of Science:

  • Radiotherapy and Medical Imaging
  • Pulmonary Medicine and Oncology

Background:

  • Lung cancer radiotherapy aims for curative intent, but non-target lung tissue can be affected.
  • Differentiating functionally defective or viable lung regions is crucial for dose modification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review functional imaging modalities for lung avoidance in radiotherapy planning.
  • To discuss practical implementation issues and provide reporting guidelines for future studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of functional lung imaging techniques: SPECT, hyperpolarized gas MR, PET, and CT-based biomechanics.
  • Analysis of practical aspects: image registration, ventilation, and perfusion imaging.
  • Examination of functional image-guided lung avoidance treatment planning.

Main Results:

  • Several functional imaging modalities show potential for lung avoidance in radiotherapy.
  • Successful implementation requires addressing image registration and understanding ventilation/perfusion dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Functional imaging integration into radiotherapy planning can optimize dose distribution for lung cancer patients.
  • Standardized reporting guidelines are needed for future functional lung avoidance planning studies.
