Purpose: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of gating around end-expiration and end-inspiration.Materials and methods: We created five irradiation protocols to treat 15 patients with lung cancer. They were non-gated irradiation (protocol 1, PI),amplitude-based gating around end-expiration (P2) and end- inspiration (P3), and phase-based gating mound end-expiration (P4) and end-inspiration (P5) We compared the lung dosimetric parameters and the treatment tune.Results. compared to P2, in P3 the mean lung close was reduced by 0 5 +/- 0.4 Gy.V20 by 1.2 +/- 0.9%, V10 by 1.4 +/- 0.8%, and V5 by 1.5 +/- 0 9% (p < 0 01). There was no statistically significant difference in these parameters; between P4 and P5. At a dose rate of 600 monitor units/min (MUs/min), the average treatment time required for 100 MUs was 10. 26, 64, 33, and 33 s, respectively, for P1, P2, P3. P4, and P5.Conclusions: With amplitude-based gating, gating around end-inspiration (P3) produced a greater decrease in the lung dose, however, the treatment time was longest among the four gated protocols There was no significant difference between the two phase-based gating protocols (P4 and P)) with respect to tile radiation dose to the lungs and the treatment trine.
