Description

The essential component of respiratory motion management in radiation therapy is to accurately measure target movement to account for internal margins in treatment planning. Then, adequate set-up margins should be created reflecting accuracy of patient fixation and isocenter location. In addition, a special care is needed to verify a clinical process from CT image acquisition for treatment planning to treatment delivery. (author)
