Abstract:Purpose:
To characterize the distributions of setup corrections for radical IMRT lung patients treated on a couchtop with six degrees of freedom (6DOF).
Methods:
Translational and rotational setup corrections were retrospectively analyzed for patients treated on the HexaPODTM 6DOF couchtop. Conventional and hypo‐fractioned radical IMRT lung treatments were included, for a total of 152 patients and 2,042 fractions. The distribution of setup corrections was analyzed for each DOF. Potential correlations between p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
