Reproducibility of the external surface position in left‐breast DIBH radiotherapy with spirometer‐based monitoring
Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy treatments allows for a reduction in cardiac and pulmonary doses without compromising target coverage. The selection of the most appropriate technology for DIBH monitoring is a crucial issue. We evaluated the stability and reproducibility of DIBHs controlled by a spirometric device, by assessing the variability of the ...
متن کاملReproducibility of the external surface position in left‐breast DIBH radiotherapy with spirometer‐based monitoring: methodological mistake
Dear Editor, I was interested to read the papers by Fassi and colleagues, published in the January 2014 issue of Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics (JACMP).(1) The authors aimed to evaluated the reproducibility of deep inspiration breath hold (DIBHs) controlled by a spirometric device, by assessing the variability of the external surface position within a single DIBH (intra-DIBH) and b...
متن کاملResponse to: Reproducibility of the external surface position in left‐breast DIBH radiotherapy with spirometer‐based monitoring: methodological mistake
To the Editor: We thank Siamak Sabour for his interest in our recently published manuscript.(1) Our study was focused on the assessment of the reproducibility of the external surface position in repeated DIBHs controlled by a spirometric device. Patient surface data were obtained from an infrared (IR) optoelectronic localizer. Results were reported in terms of variability of the optically track...
متن کاملReduced lung dose during radiotherapy for thoracic esophageal carcinoma: VMAT combined with active breathing control for moderate DIBH
BACKGROUND Lung radiation injury is a critical complication of radiotherapy (RT) for thoracic esophageal carcinoma (EC). Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility and dosimetric effects of reducing the lung tissue irradiation dose during RT for thoracic EC by applying volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) combined with active breathing control (ABC) for moderat...
متن کاملDeep inspiration breath‐hold technique guided by an opto‐electronic system for extracranial stereotactic treatments
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the intrapatient tumor position reproducibility in a deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique based on two infrared optical tracking systems, ExacTrac and ELITETM, in stereotactic treatment of lung and liver lesions. After a feasibility study, the technique was applied to 15 patients. Each patient, provided with a real-time visual feedback of extern...
