Abstract
The matching volume of adjacent therapeutic fields that are not given concomitantly is subject to a different fractionation schedule than that within the portals. The time-dependent LQ formalism is applied to this problem in general and to the case of Hodgkin's disease in particular. The fields should overlap but this is clinically infeasible.
