End-exhale breath-hold – is it worth it?
End-exhale breath-hold (EEBH) is a radiotherapy motion-management technique designed to minimise respiratory-induced organ motion, particularly for thoracic and upper abdominal cancers. Because end expiration is a passive and highly stable phase of breathing, EEBH allows clinicians to immobilise internal anatomy with high reproducibility. This stability reduces geometric uncertainty, improves image quality by minimising motion artefacts […]
