Fig 1 Dosimetric distribution of 125I seeds sewn intracorporeally over the margins of thoracoscopically resected lung cancer in close proximity to vertebrae. Note the limited radiation field surrounding the resection bed. The thick red line shows the contoured planning target volume (PTV); the green dots in the images connote seeds identified on the dosimetric computed tomography scan; the remaining colored lines (isodose lines) surround regions containing minimum doses as a percent of the prescription dose: yellow = 80%; blue = 87%, aqua = 100%; red = 150%; and white = 175%.
