Abstract
Planning target volume (PTV) definition based on Mid-Position (Mid-P) strategy typically integrates breathing motion from tumor positions variances along the conventional axes of the DICOM coordinate system. Tumor motion directionality is thus neglected even though it is one of its stable characteristics in time. We therefore propose the directional MidP approach (MidP dir), which allows motion directionality to be incorporated into PTV margins....
