IMAGE-GUIDED MOTION ADAPTATION IN RADIOTHERAPY

In this paper we review the engineering problems and solutions for real-time spatial tracking of radiotherapy treatment sites during free breathing. These techniques will allow the reduction and possible elimination of dose-limiting motion margins in external-beam radiation delivery plans
