To evaluate patient parameters that may predict for relative differences in cumulative 4D lung dose among several motion management strategies. Deformable image registration and dose accumulation were used to generate 4D treatment plans for eighteen patients with 4DCT scans. Three plans were generated to simulate breath hold at normal inspiration, target tracking with the beam aperture, and mid-ventilation aperture (control of the target at the mean daily position and application of an iteratively-computed margin to compensate for respiration). The relative reduction in mean lung dose (MLD) between breath hold and mid-ventilation aperture (ΔMLDBH) and between target tracking and mid-ventilation aperture (ΔMLDTT) was calculated. Associations between these two variables and parameters of the lesion (excursion, size, location, and deformation) and dose distribution (local dose gradient near the target) were calculated. The largest absolute and percentage differences in MLD were 1.0 Gy and 21.5% between breath hold and mid-ventilation aperture. ΔMLDBH was significantly associated (p<0.05) with tumor excursion. ΔMLDTT was significantly associated with excursion, deformation, and local dose gradient. A linear model was constructed to represent Δ MLD versus excursion. For each 5mm of excursion, target tracking reduced the MLD by 4% compared to a mid-ventilation aperture plan. For breath hold, the reduction is 5% per 5mm of excursion. The relative difference in MLD among different motion management strategies varied with patient and tumor characteristics for a given dosimetric target coverage. Tumor excursion is useful to aid in stratifying patients into an appropriate motion management strategy.
