Respiratory motion causes an important uncertainty in radiotherapy planning of the thorax and upper abdomen. The main objective of radiation therapy is to eradicate or shrink tumor cells without damaging the surrounding tissue by delivering a high radiation dose to the tumor region and a dose as low as possible to healthy organ tissues. Meeting this demand remains a challenge especially in case of lung tumors due to breathing-induced tumor and organ motion where motion amplitudes can measure up to several centimeters. Therefore, modeling of respiratory motion has become increasingly important in radiation therapy. With 4D imaging techniques spatiotemporal image ... Read more

Reviews for 4D Modeling and Estimation of Respiratory Motion for Radiation Therapy
From the reviews: “This book provides a very welcome one-stop reference on the subject. … each chapter is painstakingly referenced and the end-of-chapter reference sections are extensive. … The book seems predominantly aimed at engineers, physicists and researchers. … The book is most useful as a reference for many different staff groups, and as such would be a valuable ...
