| Core Tip |
This is a case of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer associated with segmental atelectasis that translocated owing to re-expansion of the adjacent segmental atelectasis following the first fraction. There are image-guidance systems that register solely based on rigid (bony) anatomy and others that also show soft tissue; if the former would have been used, the translocated target would have been missed. The case exemplifies the importance of cross-sectional image-guided radiotherapy that shows the intended target, as opposed to aligning based on rigid anatomy alone, in cases associated with potentially “volatile” anatomic areas. |
