A. Fasala, M. Carr, Y. Surjan, P. Daghigh, J. de Leon, A. Burns, V. Batumalai, Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (2025), https://doi.org/10.1002/jmrs.832.
- What role does abdominal compression play in managing intrafraction motion in pancreatic cancer treatment?
- It improves patient comfort during radiotherapy
- It reduces tumour motion by restricting respiratory movement
- It allows for dose escalation without harming healthy tissue
- It replaces the need for fiducial markers
- What was the minimum cine scan duration required for inclusion in the motion analysis?
- 2 min
- 4 min
- 5 min
- 6 min
- What specific planning strategy was used in this study for each fraction in stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) treatment on the MR‐Linac?
- Deep inspiration breath‐hold
- Gating strategy
- Adapt‐to‐shape (ATS) strategy
- Dose‐painting technique
- What percentage of the time did the adjusted planning target volume (PTV) remain within the specified imaging range in the study?
- 78.2%
- 84.6%
- 88.2%
- 92.8%
- Which outcome aligns with the adjusted planning target volume (PTV) margins?
- Higher radiation doses to surrounding tissues
- Improved dose metrics and reduced toxicity risks
- Increased treatment duration and complexity
- Reduced need for adaptive radiotherapy
