External-beam radiotherapy has long been challenged by the simple
fact that patients can (and do) move during the delivery of
radiation. Recent advances in imaging and beam delivery
technologies have made the solution-adapting delivery to natural
movement-a practical reality. Adaptive Motion Compensation in
Radiotherapy provides the first detailed treatment of online
interventional techniques for motion compensation radiotherapy.
This authoritative book discusses: Each of the contributing
elements of a motion-adaptive system, including target detection
and tracking, beam adaptation, and patient realignment Treatment
planning issues that arise when the patient and internal target are
mobile Integrated motion-adaptive systems in clinical use or at
advanced stages of development System control functions essential
to any therapy device operating in a near-autonomous manner with
limited human interaction Necessary motion-detection methodology,
repositioning techniques, and approaches to interpreting and
responding to target movement data in real time Medical therapy
with external beams of radiation began as a two-dimensional
technology in a three-dimensional world. However, in all but a
limited number of scenarios, movement introduces the fourth
dimension of time to the treatment problem. Motion-adaptive
radiation therapy represents a truly four-dimensional solution to
an inherently four-dimensional problem. From these chapters,
readers will gain not only an understanding of the technical
aspects and capabilities of motion adaptation but also practical
clinical insights into planning and carrying out various types of
motion-adaptive radiotherapy treatment.
