Ten, 20 and 30 degrees of yaws were introduced in the treatment planning for a patient with a hypothetical lung tumor at the upper, middle and lower portion of the right lung, and the upper and middle left lung. The planning target volume (PTV) was 43 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>. 60 Gy was prescribed to the PTV. Dose to organs at risk (OARs), which included the lungs, heart, spinal cord and chest wall, was optimized using a 2.5 cm jaw, 0.287 pitch and modulation factor of 2.5. Composite plans were generated by dose summation of the resultant plans. These plans were evaluated for its conformity index (R<jats:sub>x<\/jats:sub>) and percentile volume of lung receiving radiation dose of x Gy (V<jats:sub>x<\/jats:sub>). Conformity index was defined by the ratio of x percent isodose volume and PTV. The results show that combination of non-coplanar arcs reduced R<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> by 4.5%, R<jats:sub>20<\/jats:sub> by 26% and R<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> by 30% on average. Non-coplanar arcs did not affect V<jats:sub>20<\/jats:sub> but reduced V<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> and V<jats:sub>5<\/jats:sub> by 10% and 24% respectively. Composite of the non-coplanar arcs also reduced maximum dose to the spinal cord by 20\u201339%. Volume of chest wall receiving higher than 30 Gy was reduced by 48% on average. Heart dose reduction was dependent on the location of the PTV and the choice of non-coplanar orientations. Therefore we conclude that non-coplanar HT arcs significantly improve critical organ sparing in lung SBRT without changing the PTV dose coverage. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,10]],"date-time":"2014-03-10T21:26:22Z","timestamp":1394486782000},"page":"307-315","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Feasibility of Non-Coplanar Tomotherapy for Lung Cancer Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Wensha","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"},{"name":"Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 8700 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90048"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weiguo","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TomoTherapy Inc 1240 Deming Way Madison, WI 53717-1954"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Constance","family":"Geesey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanley","family":"Benedict","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Read","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Larner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Sheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Virginia 1335 Lee Street, Box 800383 Charlottesville, VA 22908"},{"name":"University of California-Los Angeles Department of Radiation Oncology 200 UCLA Medical Plaza Los Angeles, CA 90095"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JTO.0b013e318074e4fa"},{"key":"bibr2-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radonc.2007.10.017"},{"key":"bibr3-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11604-007-0141-7"},{"key":"bibr4-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrobp.2005.11.028"},{"key":"bibr5-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrobp.2007.03.024"},{"key":"bibr6-tcrt.2012.500207","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dunlap N.
