MARKERLESS DYNAMIC TUMOR TRACKING USING DIAPHRAGM AS A SOFT-TISSUE ANATOMICAL SURROGATE FOR LIVER TUMORS
Event Start:
2023-04-12T13:00:00
Event End:
2023-04-12T15:00:00
Event Information:
Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and radiation therapy has been a non-surgical alternative for treating patients with advanced liver cancer. Dynamic tumor tracking (DTT) has been developed to treat intra-fractionally moving liver tumors with radiation therapy. However, one of the most challenging aspects of DTT is detecting the internal tumor position, which usually relies on implanted markers as a surrogate for tumor position.
