Description

Wenlingjie Huang and co-authors watch patient posture continuously during breast radiotherapy in a 2026 study. Standard checks take one scan snapshot before treatment, missing drift during the session. The team compared that snapshot method with a surface tracking system across four hundred eighty five treatment sessions in thirty eight patients.

Sideways measures agreed almost exactly between the two systems. Front to back readings diverged slightly, likely because bone and soft tissue move differently. Faster breathing linked to smaller motion swings. The motion trace showed phases, with a calm window roughly between one hundred and one hundred forty seconds, after which posture decayed. The authors suggest timing delivery inside that window.
