摘要

Respiratory motion is a complicating factor in radiation therapy, tumor ablation, and other treatments of the thorax and upper abdomen. In most cases, the treatment requires a demanding knowledge of the location of the organ under investigation. One approach to reduce the uncertainty of organ motion caused by breathing is to use prior knowledge of the breathing motion. In this work, we extract lung motion fields of seven patients in 4DCT inhale-exhale images using an iterative shape-constrained deformable model approach. Since data was acquired for radiotherapy planning, images of the same patient over different weeks of treatment were available. Although, respiratory motion shows a repetitive character, it is well-known that patient's variability in breathing pattern impedes motion estimation. A detailed motion field analysis is performed in order to investigate the reproducibility of breathing motion over the weeks of treatment. For that purpose, parameters being significant for breathing motion are derived. The analysis of the extracted motion fields provides a basis for a further breathing motion prediction. Patient-specific motion models are derived by averaging the extracted motion fields of each individual patient. The obtained motion models are adapted to each patient in a leave-one-out test in order to simulate motion estimation to unseen data. By using patient-specific mean motion models 60% of the breathing motion can be captured on average.
