ABSTRACT

Following and correcting for these changes over the

course of treatment would allow for more accurate target

localization, and also a better understanding of how to

design margins for standard, static RT. Insufficient dose to

the cancer bearing area of the prostate (2) may occur if

target motion is ignored during treatment delivery. In

addition, real-time organ tracking allows for the calcula-

tion of the dose actually delivered to the target accounting

for any motion that was observed. Thus, dynamic dose

reconstruction would allow for fine-tuning of future frac-

tions to compensate for the influence of motion on

already-delivered fractions-adaptive RT (3).
