Unconscious physiological response of healthy volunteers to dynamic respiration-synchronized couch motion

Abstract Background Intrafractional motion can be a substantial uncertainty in precision radiotherapy. Conventionally, the target volume is expanded to account for the motion. Couch-tracking is an alternative, where the patient is moved to compensate for the tumor motion. However, the couch motion m...
