Background/aim: The present study investigated the effect of respiratory motion on planned radiotherapy (RT) dose for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma using four-dimensional dose (4D-dose) accumulation.
Patients And Methods: 4D-computed tomography (4D-CT) images of 10 patients with gastric MALT lymphomas were divided into 10 respiratory phases. Further, the 3D-dose was calculated using 3D conformal RT (3D-CRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans based on the average intensity projection (AIP) images. Then, both plans were recalculated according to each phase image. Moreover, the dose distributions in each phase were transferred to the AIP images using deformable image registration. The 4D-dose distribution was calculated by summing the doses of each phase, and it was compared with the dosimetric parameters of the 3D-dose distribution.
Results: For 3D-CRT, the D and D of the 4D-dose in the planning target volume (PTV) were significantly lower than those of the 3D-dose, with mean differences of 0.2 (p=0.009) and 0.1 Gy (p=0.021), respectively. There were no significant differences in the other PTV and organ-at-risk dosimetric parameters of 3D-CRT or in any dosimetric parameters of VMAT between the 3D- and 4D-dose distributions.
Conclusion: The effect of respiratory motion on the planned 3D-CRT and VMAT dose distributions for gastric MALT lymphoma is minimal and clinically negligible.

Recovering diagnostic-quality cardiac MR images from highly under-sampled data is a current research focus, particularly in addressing cardiac and respiratory motion. Techniques such as Compressed Sensing (CS) and Parallel Imaging (pMRI) have been proposed to accelerate MRI data acquisition and improve image quality. However, these methods have limitations in high spatial-resolution applications, often resulting in blurring or residual artifacts.

Purpose: To correct maternal breathing and fetal bulk motion during fetal 4D flow MRI.
Methods: A Doppler-ultrasound fetal cardiac-gated free-running 4D flow acquisition was corrected post hoc for maternal respiratory and fetal bulk motion in separate automated steps, with optional manual intervention to assess and limit fetal motion artifacts. Compressed-sensing reconstruction with a data outlier rejection algorithm was adapted from previous work.

Background: In order to develop contemporary telehealth curricula for entry-to-practice physiotherapy programs that develop the capabilities required to practice telehealth, it is important to evaluate the delivery of telehealth practices within the physiotherapy profession.
Objective: To assess the current literature to (i) determine what types of assessments and interventions have been delivered via synchronous forms of telehealth (videoconferencing and telephone) by physiotherapists (ii) determine which platforms were used for service delivery and which practice areas have delivered synchronous telehealth physiotherapy assessments and interventions.
Design: Scoping review adhering to Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
Effectiveness of 4-dimensional maximum intensity projection (4D-MIP) for respiratory motion management with uncertain interobserver delineation.

This study was conducted to evaluate the use of 4-dimensional (4D) maximum intensity projection (4D-MIP) to compensate for the disadvantages of average intensity projection (AIP), which is used to determine the internal target volume (ITV) in lung tumors. A respiratory motion phantom with a simulated tumor was imaged using 4D computed tomography (4D-CT). AIP and 4D-MIP were generated based on 10 phases of 4D-CT, followed by contouring of the ITV and ITV; these were compared with the ITV contoured in 10 phases of 4D-CT (ITV).

Continuous respiration monitoring is an important tool in assessing the patient's health and diagnosing pulmonary, cardiovascular, and sleep-related breathing disorders. Various techniques and devices, both contact and contactless, can be used to monitor respiration. Each of these techniques can provide different types of information with varying accuracy.
