Intrafraction tumor motion during deep inspiration breath hold pancreatic cancer treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Internal target motion may differ from external surrogate motion in DIBH treatment. Radiographic verification of target position at the beginning and during each fraction is necessary for precise RT delivery. IMR can serve as a useful tool to directly monitor the internal target motion.
