Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Single-photon-emission CT scan

Experimental: SPECT functional avoidance treatment - SPECT-based radiation therapy given taken functional distribution in the lung into account, that avoids highly functional lung volumes sparing them from radiation.

No intervention: Standard treatment - CT-based radiation therapy given over 5- 6.5 weeks.


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Single-photon-emission CT scan
SPECT/CT scan is an established functional modality used in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. SPECT/CT scan images pulmonary circulation, where perfused areas equate with normal functional lung
