Interfractional Variations of Tumor Centroid Position and Tumor Regression during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Tumor
PURPOSE To determine interfractional changes of lung tumor centroid position and tumor regression during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS 34 patients were treated by SBRT in 4-5 fractions to a median dose of 50 Gy. The CT scans acquired for verification were registered with simulation CT scans. The gross target volume (GTV) was contoured on all verification CT...
متن کاملRespiratory Gating during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Reduces Tumor Position Variability
PURPOSE We evaluated the effects of respiratory gating on treatment accuracy in lung cancer patients undergoing lung stereotactic body radiotherapy by using electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population consisted of 30 lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (48 Gy/4 fractions/4 to 9 days). Of these, 14 were treated with- (...
متن کاملLung tumor motion change during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT): an evaluation using MRI
The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in lung tumor internal target volume during stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment (SBRT) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ten lung cancer patients (13 tumors) undergoing SBRT (48 Gy over four consecutive days) were evaluated. Each patient underwent three lung MRI evaluations: before SBRT (MRI-1), after fraction 3 of SBRT (MRI-3), and...
متن کاملEvaluation of interfractional variation of the centroid position and volume of internal target volume during stereotactic body radiotherapy of lung cancer using cone‐beam computed tomography
The purpose of this study was to determine interfractional variation of the centroid position and volume of internal target volume (ITV) during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. From January 2014 to August 2014, a total of 32 patients with 37 primary or metastatic lung tumors were enrolled in our study. All patients received SBRT treatment in 4-5 fractions to a median d...
متن کاملDynamic Lung Tumor Tracking for Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy
Physicians considering stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of extracranial cancer targets must be aware of the sizeable risks for normal tissue injury and the hazards of physical tumor miss. A first-of-its-kind SBRT platform achieves high-precision ablative radiation treatment through a combination of versatile real-time imaging solutions and sophisticated tumo...
