- Abstract
- Breathing-related motion is a well-known and significant source of geometrical uncertainties in radiotherapy planning and delivery. For this reason, several respiratory-synchronized techniques have been proposed to mitigate the motion, such as 4D (robust) optimization, respiratory gating or tracking. However, all these techniques face the same issue: the motion model derived from the planning 4D-CT does not necessarily represent the actual motion at the time of treatment, because the depth and pattern of spontaneous breathing are known to vary markedly over time [...]
