Investigation of Respiratory Motion Management Techniques For Proton and Photon Radiotherapy of Lung Cancer
… radiation such as high-energy photons. However, respiratory motion can significantly impact the delivered proton and photon dose distributions during lung cancer radiotherapy. The goals of this dissertation research were to evaluate the impact of respiratory motion and to estimate the benefit of …

Verification of The Clinical Implementation of The Respiratory Gated Beam Delivery Technique With Synchrotron-Based Proton Irradiation
… motion. One way to reduce uncertainty caused by respiratory motion is to use gated beam delivery. The main goal of this dissertation is to evaluate the respiratory gating technique in both passive scattering and scanning delivery mode. Our hypothesis for the study was that optimization of the …

Towards Intelligent Tumor Tracking and Setup Verification in Radiation Therapy For Lung Cancer
… by patient breathing during treatment. Most gating based radiotherapy derives the tumor motion from external surrogates and generates a respiratory signal to trigger the beam. We propose a method that monitors internal diaphragm motion, which can provide a respiratory signal that is more …
