Respiratory motion management (RMM) systems in external and stereotactic radiotherapies have been developed in the past two decades. Japanese medical service fee regulations introduced reimbursement for RMM from April 2012. Based on thorough discussions among the four academic societies concerned, these Guidelines have been developed to enable staff (radiation oncologists, radiological technologists, medical physicists, radiotherapy quality managers, radiation oncology nurses, and others) to apply RMM to radiation therapy for tumors subject to respiratory motion, safely and appropriately.
在过去的二十年中,外部放射治疗和立体定向放射治疗中的呼吸运动管理(RMM)系统已经得到了发展。自 2012 年 4 月起,日本的医疗服务费用法规开始为 RMM 报销。基于四个相关学术团体的深入讨论,制定了这些指南,以使工作人员(放射肿瘤学家、放射技师、医学物理学家、放疗质量经理、肿瘤放疗护士等)能够安全、适当地将 RMM 应用于呼吸运动肿瘤的放射治疗。
