The efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been well demonstrated.
However, it presents unique challenges for accurate planning and delivery especially in the …

The past decade has provided many technological advances in radiotherapy. The European
Institute of Radiotherapy (EIR) was established by the European Society of Therapeutic …

Background A phase III multi-centre randomised trial (ROSEL) has been initiated to
establish the role of stereotactic radiotherapy in patients with operable stage IA lung cancer …

PURPOSE: To investigate the dosimetric benefit of integration of 4D-CT in the planning
target volume (PTV) definition process compared to conventional PTV definition using …

Intrafraction tumour motion is an issue that is of increased interest in the era of image-guided
radiotherapy. It is particularly relevant for non-small cell lung cancer, for which a number of …

PURPOSE: To assess feasibility and reproducibility of an Active Breathing Coordinator
(ABC) used throughout radical radiotherapy for non–small-cell lung cancer, and compare …

Purpose Motion management of tumors within the lung and abdomen is challenging
because it requires balancing tissue sparing with accuracy of hitting the target, while …

The purpose of this study was to compare three computed tomography (CT) images under
different conditions—average intensity projection (AIP), free breathing (FB), mid‐ventilation …

Purpose: Breathing control is crucial to ensuring the accuracy of stereotactic irradiation for
lung cancer. This study monitored respiration in patients with inoperable nonsmall‐cell lung …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of gating around end-expiration
and end-inspiration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We created five irradiation protocols to …
