A Simulation Study of Tolerance of Breathing Amplitude Variations in Radiotherapy of Lung Cancer Using 4DCT and Time-Resolved 4DMRI

A Simulation Study of Tolerance of Breathing Amplitude Variations in Radiotherapy of Lung Cancer Using 4DCT and Time-Resolved 4DMRI

As patient breathing irregularities can introduce a large uncertainty in targeting the internal tumor volume (ITV) of lung cancer patients, and thereby affect treatment quality, this study evaluates dose tolerance of tumor motion amplitude variations in ITV-based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VM...
