A well defined set of clinically relevant reference measurements for photon dose calculations in the presence of the lung have been provided. These benchmark data were mainly obtained in low-density (.rho. = 0.31 gcm-3) lunglike material as well as in waterlike plastic for 4 and 15 MV X-ray beams. Some additional measurements were performed with materials having a density of 0.015 gcm-3 and 0.18 gcm-3. Phantom geometries included simple layered geometries, finite lung cross section geometries, simulated mediastinum geometries, and simulated tumor in lung geometries. The data reported as central axis depth doses. A number parameters were varied, including the field size, the lung geometry, and the distance in and behind the lung.
