Quantitative analysis of respiration-induced motion of each liver segment with helical computed tomography and 4-dimensional computed tomography

Abstract Background To analyze the respiratory-induced motion of each liver segment using helical computed tomography (helical CT) and 4-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), and to establish the individual segment expansion margin of internal target volume (ITV) to facilitate target delineation o...
