Stability and Reliability of Enhanced External-Internal Motion Correlation via Dynamic Phase-Shift Corrections Over 30-min Timeframe for Respiratory-Gated Radiotherapy

Abstract: To assess the stability of patient-specific phase shifts between external- and internal-respiratory motion waveforms, the reliability of enhanced external–internal correlation with phase-shift correction, and the feasibility of guiding respiratory-gated radiotherapy (RGRT) over 30 min. In this clinical feasibility investigation, external bellows and internal-navigator waveforms were simultaneously and prospectively acquired along with two four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4DMRI) scans (6–15 m each) … Show more

“…First, the external motion surrogate used for 4DCT simulation, such as RPM (real-time positioning management, Varian Medical), should be used to establish a rough correlative external-internal motion relationship and applied during the treatment. If an MRI simulator is available in a clinic, multi-breath TR-4DMRI (or 2DMR cine) motion simulation is recommended [12][13][14], so the external-internal motion correlation can be better quantified as a more reliable representation of tumor motion [28], in contrast to the composite tumor motion within a single breathing cycle. Second, during treatment, if tumor motion is higher than that of simulation by 5 mm, the SBRT beam should be temporarily turned off (beam gating on thresholds) to avoid temporarily partial missing of the target until the breathing trace falls back to its simulation motion range.…”
