The tumor movement will be tracked reliably by combining the tracking surrogate with real-time X-Ray images from ExacTrac Dynamic®. A dedicated algorithm is being designed to create a correlation model of the patient’s surface and the internal tumor motion. This will be repeatedly checked and validated during treatment. Protection of Healthy Tissue through Targeted Irradiation Based on the tracking of the tumor movement, the treatment beam can be switched on and off automatically to irradiate the tumor only when it is in the planned area. In the case of lung treatments, this would ensure that healthy lung tissue is protected and that maximum lung function is maintained. At the same time, this treatment method would have the potential to avoid affecting other healthy organ structures. irtual Treatment: Interactive Session for Understanding Lung Irradiation
