Excerpt

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a therapeutic option for unresectable lung malignancy due to its ability to deliver high radiation doses with minimal exposure to adjacent lung and mediastinal structures [1, 2]. One challenge of lung SBRT lies in the ability of the radiosurgery system to effectively track a lung lesion during respiration. Consequently, interventional radiologists are often asked to percutaneously place fiducial markers within the nodule or mass. The radiosurgery system can then target and track the fiducial marker(s) during a radiotherapy session [3]. …
