A Pilot Study of Synchronization of Respiration-Induced Motions in the Duodenum and Stomach for the Primary Tumor in Radiation Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer Using 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography

Purpose: We investigated the synchronization of respiration-induced motions at the primary tumor and organs at risk at radiation planning for pancreatic cancer. Methods and Materials: Four-dimensional computed tomography images were acquired under the condition of shallow free breathing in patients...
