Potential Morbidity Reduction for Lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Using Respiratory Gating

Potential Morbidity Reduction for Lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Using Respiratory Gating

We investigated the potential of respiratory gating to mitigate the motion-caused misdosage in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). For fourteen patients with lung tumors, we investigated treatment plans for a gating window (GW) including three breathing phases around the maximum exhalation p...
