Evaluation of a Time-of-Flight-based Respiratory Motion Management System.

In this paper a novel anatomic-like phantom, to simulate human respiratory motion is presented. The phantom is capable to simulate thorax and abdomen motion for surface based respiratory gating systems. This phantom is used to evaluate a system based on time-of-flight (TOF) technology, to detect respiratory motion. It could be shown that the correlation between the reference motion, performed by the phantom and the measured data of the TOF...
