Impact of abdominal compression on heart and stomach motion for stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation

CONCLUSIONS: AC was not a consistent motion management method for STAR, nor does not uniformly affect the separation distance between LVCs and the stomach. If AC is employed in future STAR protocols, the motion of the target volume and its relative distance to the stomach should be compared on two 4DCTs: one while the patient is FB and one under AC.PMID:38661250 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14346
