Abbreviations: ADL = average dose to lower region of lung structure in Gy; GTV = gross tumor volume; iV20 = average normalized functional intensity receiving ≥20 Gy in arbitrary units; low Q/V ≥20 = Q/V low-function volume, defined as the intersection between low-function Q and low-function V, that received ≥20 Gy as a percent of the total lung structure volume; Q = perfusion; V = ventilation; V20 = volume of lung structure receiving ≥20 Gy as a percent of the total lung structure volume.
