Respiratory-gated liver stereotactic radiotherapy in flattening filter free photon mode
Respiratory motion makes radiotherapy of abdominal targets, such as the liver difficult. Respiratory gating is used to treat tumours in select portions of the respiratory cycle where their location is well known, increasing target coverage precision and reducing normal tissue damage. The tradeoff is...
