چکیده
There are no codes specific to the Beacon transponders. The implantation of the transponders can be coded using CPT codes, such as 32553, 49411, and 55876, based on the anatomical location. Code C9728 (Placement of interstitial device(s) for radiation therapy/surgery guidance (e.g., fiducial markers, dosimeter), for other than the following sites (any approach): abdomen, pelvis, prostate, retroperitoneum, thorax, single or multiple) is also available for assignment.

A quantitative investigation on lung tumor site on its motion tracking in radiotherapy with external surrogates
Introduction: In external beam radiotherapy each effort is done to deliver 3D dose distribution onto the tumor volume uniformly, while minimizing the dose to healthy organs at the same time. Radiation treatment of tumors located at thorax region such as lung and liver has a challenging issue during target localization since these tumors move mainly due to respiration. There are...

Real-time intra-fraction target tracking is a technique that enables adjustment of the target radiation while it is being delivered (i.e., intra-fraction adjustments) to compensate for movement of the organ inside the body. Real-time tracking, which may or may not use radiographic images, is one of many techniques referred to as “image-guided radiotherapy” (IGRT). For this policy, realtime trac...

Real-time intra-fraction target tracking, as an adjunct to the delivery of radiation therapy is defined as techniques and devices that enable adjustment of the target radiation while it is being delivered (i.e., intra-fraction adjustments) to compensate for movement of the organ inside the body. Realtime tracking is defined as frequent or continuous target tracking in the treatment room during ...
متن کاملA study on the accuracy of motion tracking of thoracic tumors at radiotherapy with external surrogates
Introduction: In radiotherapy with external surrogates, exact information of tumor position is one of the key factors that improves treatment delivery. Many dynamic tumors in thorax region of patient move mainly due to respiration and are known as intra-fractional motion error that must be compensated, as well. One of clinical strategy is using Stereotactic Body Radiation Thera...
