To describe the technological background, the accuracy, and clinical feasibility for single session lung radiosurgery using a real-time robotic system with respiratory tracking. The latest version of image-guided real-time respiratory tracking software (Synchrony®, Accuray Incorporated, Sunnyvale, CA) was applied and is described. Accuracy measurements were performed using a newly designed moving phantom model.
