The diaphragm as an anatomic surrogate for lung tumor motion.

Lung tumor motion due to respiration poses a challenge in the application of modern three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. Direct tracking of the lung tumor during radiation therapy is very difficult without implanted fiducial markers. Indirect tracking relies on the correlation of the tumor's motion and the surrogate's motion. The present paper presents an analysis of the correlation betwee...

Fluoroscopy as a surrogate for lung tumour motion.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this article was to test a simple approach of using pixel density values from fluoroscopy images to enable gated radiotherapy. METHODS Anterior and lateral (LAT) from images were acquired from 18 patients referred for radical radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer for a period of 30-45 s. The amplitude of movement and the number of breathing cycles were determined i...

An Anatomic Human Body for Motion Capture

Motion capture is the process of capturing the live motion of a person in order to animate a virtual character. Until now the approach providing the best results was marker recognition from multiple camera views (in the infrared range). However, it still requires significant human intervention in the post-processing phase due to weaknesses in the marker tracking. In the framework of the MOCA pr...

Quantification of an External Motion Surrogate for Quality Assurance in Lung Cancer Radiation Therapy

The purpose of this work was to validate the stability of the end exhale position in deep expiration breath hold (DEBH) technique for quality assurance in stereotactic lung tumor radiation therapy. Furthermore, a motion analysis was performed for 20 patients to evaluate breathing periods and baseline drifts based on an external surrogate. This trajectory was detected using stereo infrared (IR) ...
