Incorporating functional lung imaging (FLI) into radiation therapy planning in patients with lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: FLI shows promise as a method to spare FL during thoracic RT, but interventional trials related to FL avoidance planning are sparse. Such trials are critical to understanding the impact of FL avoidance planning on toxicity reduction and patient outcomes.PMID:38631538 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.001
