Implications of respiratory motion for small animal image-guided radiotherapy
Image-guided small animal irradiators have the potential to make a significant impact on facilitating the translation of radiobiological research into the clinic. To fully exploit the improved precision in dose delivery to the target/tumour while minimizing dose to surrounding tissues, minimal positional error in the target is required. However, for many sites within the thorax and abdomen, res...
متن کاملA fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...

متن کاملAn image guided small animal stereotactic radiotherapy system
Small animal radiotherapy studies should be performed preferably on irradiators capable of focal tumor irradiation and healthy tissue sparing. In this study, an image guided small animal arc radiation treatment system (iSMAART) was developed which can achieve highly precise radiation targeting through the utilization of onboard cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance. The iSMAART employs ...
متن کاملA Family of Linear Algorithms for the Prediction of Respiratory Motion for Image-Guided Radiotherapy
Over the last years the CyberKnife system has won a firm spot in clinical treatment of cancerous regions in the body stem without using respiratory coaching, gating or fixation. To achieve this, the excursion of the patient’s chest is recorded and correlated to landmarks obtained during stereoscopic X-ray imaging [3]. This model is subsequently used to guide the robotic arm carrying a linear ac...
