A respiratory motion analysis for guiding stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy motion management
The gCGF surface-to-surface deformable registration algorithm was confirmed to be robust to quantify respiratory motion of the heart in the r4DCTs while mitigating cardiac motion artifacts. The gCGF algorithm and the results of this study can be useful to enable personalized motion management for STAR treatments and patient-specific optimization of the ITV margins.
