RT\ , which involves targeting the cancerous tumor with x-rays\, is a common t reatment for lung cancer. However\, RT not only eliminates cancer cells bu t also harms the surrounding healthy lung tissues. This presentation will explore how we can lessen radiation damage by optimizing traditional radia tion therapy plans. This involves reducing the dose to high-functioning lu ng tissue while ensuring the tumor receives the necessary therapeutic dose . The talk will also cover methods for measuring lung ventilation when it is out of phase and how to correct motion artifacts in 4DCT to enhance the effectiveness of LIART.\n\nIn addition to in person at Rice Biosciences R esearch Collaborative room 875\, the talk will be on Zoom at 2pm CDT at:\n \n[https://riceuniversity.zoom.us/j/92601324773?pwd=EQ0nHu9VFnTaOk4pMRaVCb h73dBwSx.1](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://riceuniversity.zoom.us/j/ 92601324773?pwd%3DEQ0nHu9VFnTaOk4pMRaVCbh73dBwSx.1&sa=D&source=calendar&us d=2&usg=AOvVaw10bWJ8TOLhovuHjNSNoClb)\n\nMeeting ID: 926 0132 4773\nPassco de: 746971\n\nCo-sponsored by: Rice University ECE Department Seminar\n\nS peaker(s): Gary Christensen\n\nAgenda: \nPresentation at 2 to 3:00pm CDT\n \nRoom: Room 875\, Bldg: Biosciences Research Collaborative (BRC)\, Rice U niversity\, 6500 Main Street\, Houston\, Texas\, United States\, 77030 LOCATION:Room: Room 875\, Bldg: Biosciences Research Collaborative (BRC)\, Rice University\, 6500 Main Street\, Houston\, Texas\, United States\, 770 30 ORGANIZER:cavallar@rice.edu SEQUENCE:37 SUMMARY:LIART: Lung Injury Avoidance Radiation Therapy URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479445 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Abstract: This presentation will introduce state-of-the-art techniques for minimizing lung damage and reducing pulmo nary toxicity in patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) for non-small cell lung cancer.
