Motion Tracking Has Never Been This Easy
In Radiation Therapy, targeting a tumor with precision while it is constantly moving due to respiration or patient motion is not an easy task. Today's delivery technology and modalities (such as SBRT) demand a high level of accuracy and precision. Using IGRT to find a tumor and identify critical structures is not enough -- your patients need to be immobilized and monitored for intrafraction motion.
Respisens is an innovative device for patient motion tracking during Radiation Therapy treatments. The system consists of a minature transmitter/receiver that measures the distance between two probes. If placed on the thorax or abdomen, Respisens tracks patient breathing and thus helps monitoring breath holds or out of threshold motion. If placed on a motionless part of the patient, it helps to verify his/her immobility. Watching patients on a monitor from several yards away is not an effective or efficent method for monitoring motion.
