Abstract
In radiotherapy for thoracic and abdominal tumors, the negative effect of respiratory movement on radiotherapy persist throughout the whole process of radiotherapy. Deep inspiration breath-hold technique (DIBH) is a method of respiratory movement management in radiotherapy, which can reduce the negative effect of respiratory movement upon radiotherapy in the whole process of radiotherapy. Meantime, DIBH technique has its own characteristics and operation requirements compared with other respiratory movement management measures (such as 4D CT, gated technology and tracking, etc.). The aim of this review was to introduce the advantages, disadvantages and the application status of DIBH technique.
Key words:
Deep inspiration breath-hold; Neoplasm/radiotherapy
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology is a national academic journal sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. It was founded in 1992 and the title was written by Chen Minzhang, the former Minister of Health. Its predecessor was the Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology, which was founded in 1987. The journal is an authoritative journal in the field of radiation oncology in my country. It focuses on clinical tumor radiotherapy, tumor radiation physics, tumor radiation biology, and thermal therapy. Its main readers are middle and senior clinical doctors and scientific researchers. It is now a monthly journal with a large 16-page format and 80 pages of text. For many years, it has adhered to the principle of combining theory with practice and combining improvement with popularization. It now has columns such as monographs, head and neck tumors (monographs), chest tumors (monographs), abdominal tumors (monographs), physics, technology, biology (monographs), reviews, and investigations and research.
