Influence of tumor characteristics on correction differences between cone‐beam computed tomography‐guided patient setup strategies in stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung cancer
Abstract:Background: To evaluate the correction differences between vertebra and tumor matching as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided setup strategies in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and the correlations with tumor characteristics such as size, mobility, and location. Methods: The manual registrations for 33 lung tumors treated with SBRT were retrospectively performed by matching thoracic vertebrae for vertebra matching and then by matching CBCT-visualized tumors within the internal target … Show more
