Sentinel – Respiratory Gating cRESPIRATION Respiratory gating in the Sentinel system
Respiratory motion can affect the delivered dose distribution Background Respiratory motion can affect the delivered dose distribution Especially in the thorax/abdominal region Available solutions Increased margins More dose will be delivered to the surrounding healthy tissue Organs at risk must still be protected, which may be very difficult if they move near or into the desired target volume Gated treatment Dose delivery is synchronized with respiratory motion Potential for dose escalation, resulting in higher delivered dose to the tumor while healthy tissue is spared The correlation between internal and external (surrogate) motion must be known
Establishing correlation How can we establish the correlation between internal and external motion? 4D CT study Gated fluoroscopy (on a conventional simulator) End exhale End inhale 0% 100% Amplitude Gating window
Inter- and intrafractional variations Breathing patterns Inter- and intrafractional variations Changes in frequency and amplitude Thoraxic vs. abdominal breathing Irregularities (coughing, unexpected breath hold, patient movement) Solution Coached breathing/biofeedback Parallel monitoring of both thoraxic and abdominal respiratory motion Algorithms for detecting irregularities
