The most severe adverse event of radiotherapy in lung cancer is radiation pneumonitis (RP). Some indices commonly used to prevent RP are evaluated based on the anatomical lung volume. The irradiation dose may be more accurately assessed by using functional lung volume. We evaluated the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) incorporating functional ventilation images acquired by the inhalation of xenon (Xe) gas (Xe-CT functional images).
