Quantifying esophageal motion during free-breathing and breath-hold using fiducial markers in patients with early-stage esophageal cancer.

Quantifying esophageal motion during free-breathing and breath-hold using fiducial markers in patients with early-stage esophageal cancer.

INTRODUCTION:Cardiac toxicity after definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer is a critical issue. To reduce irradiation doses to organs at risk, individual internal margins need to be identified and minimized. The purpose of this study was to quantify esophageal motion using fiducial maker...
