A Novel Markerless Lung Tumor-Tracking Method Using Treatment MV Beam Imaging

A Novel Markerless Lung Tumor-Tracking Method Using Treatment MV Beam Imaging

A novel method was developed to track lung tumor motion in real time during radiation therapy with the purpose to allow target radiation dose escalation while simultaneously reducing the dose to sensitive structures, thereby increasing local control without increasing toxicity. This method analyzes...
