Novel utilization and quantification of Xsight diaphragm tracking for respiratory motion compensation in Cyberknife Synchrony treatment of liver tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Xsight lung tracking system (XLTS) utilizes an advanced image processing algorithm to precisely identify the position of a tumor and determine its location in orthogonal x-ray images, instead of finding fiducials, thereby minimizing the risk of fiducial insertion-related side effects. To assess and gauge the effectiveness of CyberKnife Synchrony in treating liver tumors located in close proximity to or within the diaphragm, we employed the Xsight diaphragm tracking system (XDTS), which was based on the XLTS.

Methods

We looked back at the treatment logs of 11 patients (8/11 [XDTS], 3/11 [Fiducial-based Target Tracking System-FTTS]) who had liver tumors in close proximity to or within the diaphragm. And the results are compared with the patients who undergo the tre
