Overview: Lung Module

In this section, we will learn to do treatment planning for Lung cancer.  We will do a treatment plan using a standard AP/PA technique, and the add an Off-Cord Boost. We will make a composite plan and then evaluate the total dose paying close attention to the normal lung dose. After the lesson, we will give you a patient in the practicum to do treatment plans on.

At the end, there is a 25-question test to gauge your understanding of Lung Cancer Dosimetry.
