Mechanically-assisted non-invasive ventilation: A step forward to modulate and to improve the reproducibility of breathing-related motion in radiation therapy.

CONCLUSION: MANIV offers exciting perspectives for motion management. It improves its intra- and inter-session reproducibility and should facilitate respiratory tracking, gating or margin techniques for both photon and proton treatments. PMID: 30935569 [PubMed - in process]
