Guidelines for respiratory motion management in radiation therapy
Respiratory motion management (RMM) systems in external and stereotactic radiotherapies have been developed in the past two decades. Japanese medical service fee regulations introduced reimbursement for RMM from April 2012. Based on thorough discussions among the four academic societies concerned, these Guidelines have been developed to enable staff (radiation oncologists, radiological technolo...
متن کاملRespiratory motion effect on tumor and normal tissue doses in patients with lung cancer, treated with Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy and Three Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of respiratory motion during radiation therapy in patient with lung cancer and comparison of dosimetric parameters between Intensity modulation radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in lung cancer. Materials and Methods: Two CT scan was performred for each pati...
متن کاملSurrogate-driven deformable motion model for organ motion tracking in particle radiation therapy.
The aim of this study is the development and experimental testing of a tumor tracking method for particle radiation therapy, providing the daily respiratory dynamics of the patient's thoraco-abdominal anatomy as a function of an external surface surrogate combined with an a priori motion model. The proposed tracking approach is based on a patient-specific breathing motion model, estimated from ...
متن کاملReducing the respiratory motion artifacts in PET cardiology: A simulation study
Introduction: There are several technical features that make PET an ideal device for the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac physiology. Organ motion due to respiration is a major challenge in diagnostic imaging, especially in cardiac PET imaging. These motions reduce image quality by spreading the radiotracer activity over an increased volume, distorting apparent les...
متن کاملRobust Management of Motion Uncertainty in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is subject to uncertainties that need to be accounted for when determining a suitable treatment plan for a cancer patient. For lung and liver tumors, the presence of breathing motion during treatment is a challenge to the effective and reliable delivery of the radiation. In this paper, we build a model of motion uncertainty using probability density functions that describe bre...
