Abstract
Remarkable advances have been made in radiotherapy for cancer. Tumors inside the body that move with respiration can now be tracked during irradiation or can be irradiated at a specific phase of respiration [1]. Since radiation of these wavelengths is invisible to the human eye, it is not possible to see whether a tumor that is moving during respiration is being irradiated accurately. Therefore, simulations that use the actual respiration wave to show the tumor being irradiated are useful for training and to explain the procedure to patients.
