Title Ultrasound and MRI line up for 4D radiotherapy Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet medicalphysicsweb Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 15/02/2014 Description Planning and delivering radiotherapy to moving targets is an enduring challenge. Tumours can change shape, location and functionality between treatment fractions, while patients may undergo anatomical changes during a radiotherapy course. Tumours and organs-at-risk can also move during treatment delivery – and not necessarily in synch with each other. For proton therapy, in which motion can introduce density changes in the beam path, the implications of such uncertainties can be particularly severe.
