Abstract

BACKGROUND: Respiratory motion during radiotherapy (RT) may reduce the therapeutic effect and increase the dose received by organs at risk. This can be addressed by real-time tracking, where respiration motion prediction is currently required to compensate for system latency in RT systems. Notably, for the prediction of future images in image-guided adaptive RT systems, the use of deep learning has been considered.
