Motion Management in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Abstract

Motion management in stereotactic body radiation therapy poses some complex challenges and yet takes on an essential role in the execution of a successful stereotactic radiation treatment. In this chapter, we will discuss the sources of motion and techniques that have been developed to address them. The management of motion due to respiration is discussed in some detail, including numerous technologies and techniques that have been developed. Concepts for motion management, from the treatment planning stage to the treatment execution stage, are discussed. Both historical and emerging technologies are discussed including considerations regarding complexity, efficacy, and suitability to the clinical treatment site. Technical descriptions are given for the typical systems employed for monitoring and measuring motion in stereotactic body radiation therapy, including both x-ray radiation and non-x-ray radiation-based systems.
