- Authors
Skinner, Andrea
- Abstract
The article focuses on how to identify tumor motion during radiation therapy for cancer treatment. It notes that internal target volume (ITV) is used as a margin for individual characterization of tumor motion. It discusses the imaging techniques used to characterize tumor movement including fluoroscopy, slow computed tomography (CT), breath-hold methods, and 4-D CT.
