Evaluation of plan quality and treatment efficiency for single-isocenter/two-lesion lung stereotactic body radiation therapy.
CONCLUSION: The SBRT treatment of two peripherally located lung lesions with a centrally placed single-isocenter was dosimetrically equivalent to two-isocenter plans. Faster treatment delivery for single-isocenter treatment can improve patient compliance and reduce the amount of intrafraction motion errors for well-suited patients.
