A four dimensional volumetric modulated arc therapy planning system for stereotactic body radiation therapy in lung cancers
A novel 4D volumetric modulated arc therapy (4D VMAT) planning system is presented where radiation sparing of organs at risk (OARs) is enhanced by exploiting relative target and healthy tissue motion induced by patient respiration. In conventional radiation therapy, a motion encompassing margin is...
