Mitigating respiratory motion in radiotherapy: rapid, shallow, non-invasive mechanical ventilation for internal thoracic targets.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics(2019)
摘要
To our knowledge, this is the first study to measure internal anatomical motion using rapid shallow mechanical ventilation to regularise and minimise respiratory motion, over a period long enough to image and deliver radiotherapy. Rapid frequency, shallow, non-invasive ventilation generates large reductions in internal thoracic and abdominal motions, the clinical application of which could be profound; enabling dose escalation (increasing treatment efficacy) or high dose ablative radiotherapy.
