title: The dose to lung in TBI.
abstract: Many physical problems are associated with TBI prior to BMT. Determination of the dose to lung, the organ at risk in TBI, is the most demanding task the DGMP working group on "Physical Aspects of TBI" has to solve. At an international workshop held at Essen in May 1990 the 50 participants discussed the problems and possibilities to measure, calculate, plan, modify, confirm, verify, and report the dose to lung. Some highlights are discussed here. The review lectures are summarized as abstracts in this issue. Details are published separately in the proceedings.
