    Summary of simulated non-small-cell lung cancer scenarios. The figures demonstrate the target and normal tissues contours for the seven simulated scenarios, demonstrating structures as indicated by the colour key. Scenarios incorporated non-functional lung regions comprising: (1) left upper lobe; (2) left lower lobe; (3) whole left lung; (4) right upper lobe; (5) right lower lobe; (6) whole right lung; and (7) right middle and lower lobe (simulating primary lesion of bronchus intermedius.).
