Breathing Control for Motion Management in Radiotherapy and Imaging
Breathing Control for Motion Management in Radiotherapy and Imaging
, Nederland
We are excited to announce this first ever special international symposium about respiratory motion management in radiotherapy and imaging. Organ motion due to breathing hampers accurate radiotherapy in the thoracic and upper abdominal region, and requires generous margins. Respiratory motion management is also an increasingly important topic in (diagnostic) imaging. Besides technical solutions such as tracking and gating, non-invasive breathing control using ventilators is getting more awareness over the last years.
With this symposium we aim to bring together an international audience with interest in and/or expertise regarding non-invasive breathing control of conscious patients.
