Evaluation of the effects of motion mitigation strategies on respiration-induced motion in each pancreatic region using cine-magnetic resonance imaging.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to quantify the respiration-induced motion in each pancreatic region during motion mitigation strategies and to characterize the correlations between this motion and that of the surrogate signals in cine-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also aimed to evaluate the effects of these motion mitigation strategies in each pancreatic region.
methodsSagittal and coronal two-dimensional cine-MR images were obtained in 11 healthy volunteers, eight of whom also underwent imaging with abdominal compression (AC). For each pancreatic region, the magnitude of pancreatic motion with and without motion mitigation and the positional error between the actual and predicted pancreas motion based on surrogate signals were evaluated.
resultsThe magnitude of pancreatic motion with and without AC in the left-right (LR) and superior-inferior (SI) directions varied depending on the pancreatic region. In respiratory gating (RG) assessments based on a surrogate signal, although the correlation was reasonable, the positional error was large in the pancreatic tail region. Furthermore, motion mitigation in the anterior-posterior and SI directions with RG was more effective than was that with AC in the head region.
conclusionsThis study revealed pancreatic region-dependent variations in respiration-induced motion and their effects on motion mitigation outcomes during AC or RG. The magnitude of pancreatic motion with or without AC and the magnitude of the positional error with RG varied depending on the pancreatic region. Therefore, during radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer, it is important to consider that the effects of motion mitigation during AC or RG may differ depending on the pancreatic region.
