A CT-simulation approach has been developed which images free breathing patients with lung tumors by generating a motion model that is a function of breathing amplitude and rate (5DCT). Of the >300 patients simulated with 5DCT, 13 have been simulated more tha...
MRI-guided lung SBRT has emerged as a novel treatment modality with the potential to enhance motion management and improve normal lung sparing. This retrospective study evaluates the extent of normal lung sparing achieved by real-time tracking and automatic g...
4DCT is widely considered the standard for lung cancer radiation therapy treatment planning (TP) despite susceptibility to breathing-related motion artifacts that often render images unusable. Five-dimensional CT (5DCT), a model-based CT reconstruction method...
To test the feasibility of using lung hysteresis, or the difference in inhalation and exhalation motion trajectories, as a biomarker for mechanically affected lung.
