Abstract
Hypofractionated image-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (igSABR) is effective in small lung/liver lesions. Computer-assisted breath-hold reduces intrafraction motion but, as every gating/triggering strategy, reduces the duty cycle, resulting in long fraction times if combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). 10 MV flattening-filter-free IMRT reduces daily fraction duration to <10 mm for single doses of 5-20 Gy.
