Deep inspiration breath hold real-time tumor-tracking radiation therapy (DBRT) as a novel stereotactic body radiation therapy approach for lung tumors

Abstract Radiotherapy with deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) reduces doses to the lungs and organs at risk. The stability of breath holding and reproducibility of tumor location are higher during expiration than during inspiration; therefore, we developed an irradiation method combining DIBH and r...
