Quantitative assessment of radiation dose and fractionation effects on normal tissue by utilizing a novel lung fibrosis index model
Abstract Background Normal lung tissue tolerance constitutes a limiting factor in delivering the required dose of radiotherapy to cure thoracic and chest wall malignancies. Radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is considered a critical determinant for late normal tissue complications. While RILF mo...
