Movements like breathing can change the position of a tumor, even when laying down. 4D CT Simulation is an advanced technique that allows doctors to precisely treat a “moving target”.
4-D CT Simulation
What is 4D CT Simulation?
What does that mean for me?
Advanced imaging creates a 3D view that shows how your organs and tumor move as you breathe. Eventually this creates a 4D picture which helps your doctor track and anticipate the tumor’s movement. This ensures that the radiation beam remains on target when the tumor moves.
