Abstract
Background and purpose Current motion mitigation strategies, like margins, gating, and tracking, deal with geometrical uncertainties in the tumour position, induced by breathing during radiotherapy (RT). However, they often overlook motion variability in amplitude, respiratory rate, or baseline position, when breathing spontaneously. Consequently, this may negatively affect the delivered dose conformality in comparison to the plan. We previously...
