Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This treatment is compared to the standard technique in our center (supine position with or without respiratory gating). The investigators want to compare the doses on the organs at risk (heart and lungs) in the different techniques.
