Motion in radiotherapy<br />
“Respiration causes target motion, which is known to be one of the technical<br />
bottlenecks in radiotherapy, especially for stereotactic radiosurgery <strong>and</strong> IMRT.”<br />
Hypothesis<br />
<strong>Suh</strong> et al. “Aperture maneuver with compelled breath (AMC) for moving tumors:<br />
A feasibility study with a moving phantom,” Med Phys 31: 760-6, 2004<br />
Instead of seeing anatomic motion as an obstacle to radiotherapy,<br />
utilizing motion has potential to improve radiotherapy treatment.<br />
Including motion as an additional degree of freedom in radiotherapy<br />
treatment may yield at least as good solutions with motion tracking<br />
as those with no motion (motion = 0 is a subset of motion > 0).
