Particle beam therapy (PBT) is extremely sensitive to patient setup uncertainties and anatomical variations prior to and during dose delivery. Organ motion mitigation strategies are hence required to deliver the dose with high precision and accuracy. In this study, an MR- and PBT-compatible patient-individualized abdominal corset was developed and tested in 9 patients with abdominal cancer for its efficacy to reduce respiratory-induced motion. Pancreas motion was analyzed with and without corset by means of orthogonal 2D-cine and 4D-MRI.
