Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between lung tumor movement and the position of fiducial markers during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) by utilizing four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) images.
- It analyzes data from 31 patients, comparing respiratory movement patterns for tumors in the upper lobe versus the middle and lower lobes across various directions and gating windows.
- Results indicate that the upper group has significantly lower cross-correlation coefficients than the middle and lower lobe group, suggesting the need for careful selection of fiducial markers to improve treatment accuracy and reduce the risk of unplanned irradiation.
