TL;DR
The inter- and intrafractional DeltaM that occur during a course of lung SBRT are small, however, patients in whom abdominal compression was used showed a statistically significant difference in the variance of DeltaM with respect to the initial rcCBCT in the superior-inferior direction.
Abstract
The inter- and intrafractional DeltaM that occur during a course of lung SBRT are small. However, abdominal compression causes larger variations in the time spent on the treatment couch and in the inter- and intrafractional DeltaM values.
