Analysis of respiratory-induced motion trajectories of individual liver segments in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

CONCLUSION: A significant amount of respiratory motion was detected in the CC direction, especially in S7, and S8. Despite the small effect of hysteresis, it can be observed specifically in the right lobe. Therefore, caution is required when using 4DCT to determine IM using only end-inspiration and end-expiration. Understanding the respiratory motion in individual liver segments can be helpful when selecting an appropriate treatment protocol.PMID:38303539 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14257
