DOI: 10.1002/mp.15802
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Respiratory motion management is important in abdominothoracic radiotherapy. Fast imaging of the tumor can facilitate multileaf collimator (MLC) tracking that allows for smaller treatment margins, while repeatedly imaging the full field‐of‐view is necessary… read more here.
