The markerless lung target tracking AAPM Grand Challenge (MATCH) results.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Lung stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is a radiation therapy success story with level 1 evidence demonstrating its efficacy. To provide real-time respiratory motion management for lung SABR, several commercial and preclinical markerless lung target tracking (MLTT) approaches have been developed. However, these approaches have yet to be benchmarked using a common measurement methodology. This knowledge gap motivated the MArkerless lung target Tracking CHallenge (MATCH). The aim was to localize lung targets accurately and precisely in a retrospective in silico study and a prospective experimental study.

Methods

MATCH was an American Association of Physicists in Medicine sponsored Grand Challenge. Common materials for the in silico and experimental studies
