Table 3.
Summary of treatment time, scattering component (b), pleural surface area, volume and total fluence for 12 patients whom we have successfully obtained light fluence distributions. IR navigation was performed partially for patient 24, 28 and 34, where the treatment time and the mean delivered fluence when IR navigation system was turned on are presented in parentheses.
