Respiratory Gating

Respiratory Gating is a specialized radiation treatment technique designed for tumors located in areas that move as you breathe, such as the lungs, breast, chest, and upper abdomen.

At Advanced Radiation Centers, our doctors carefully measure how much your tumor moves when you inhale and exhale. Using this information, they customize your radiation treatment to precisely match your breathing pattern.

What makes Respiratory Gating unique is its ability to synchronize the delivery of radiation with your natural breathing cycle. This means radiation is only given when the tumor is in the ideal position, sparing nearby healthy tissues from unnecessary exposure.

The result? Fewer side effects and a safer, more comfortable treatment experience.
