Respiratory Gating
Key Features
Respiratory Gating
• is capturing slow moving anatomical structures such
as lung lesions during respiration up to a respiration
cycle time of 10 sec by low pitch spiral.
• helps the radio-oncologists in selecting the appropri-
ate phase of the respiratory cycle in order to plan a
treatment more accurately.
• helps visualizing the tumor excursion for a better
understanding of the target volume using InSpace
4D.
• results in a more accurate description of the ROI
• is considering tumor motion into the PTV (planned
target volume).
