The deep inspiration breath-hold technique (DIBH) can be applied to patients with breast or lung cancer as one of the respiratory gating techniques. The main purposes are expanding the lung volume and increasing the distance of the heart to the treatment region, as well as to minimize overall organ motion. The patient needs to be able to control himself or herself during the deep inspiration breath-hold, based on the visualization goggle display.
