摘要：
The present invention relates to a respiratory gating system for a patient using a natural breathing method during radiation therapy, and a method for emitting radiation thereby. A respiratory gating system allowing radiation to be emitted by orienting to the position, which varies according to a patient's breathing, of a subject on which treatment is to be carried out, comprises: a breathing respirator for allowing the patient's respiration amount to be measured； external markers to be respectively adhered to triangulation points outside the human body of the surrounding region of the subject, of the patient, on which treatment is to be carried out； an image diagnosis device for imaging the region of the subject of the patient on which treatment is to be carried out, by photographing the same； and a computer program programmed so as to calculate, as position coordinates, the change in position of the subject on which treatment is to be carried out, according to the respiration amount measured by the computed tomography equipment and the each external marker, through a triangulation method and dual polynomial equations, and to transmit the position coordinates, which changes in real time, to radiation therapy equipment, wherein radiation is emitted by the respiratory gating system, and there is an effect of further increasing the accuracy and stability of the entire radiation therapy result by tracking, in real time, the movement of an organ, which is the subject on which treatment is to be carried out according to breathing, through a respiratory gating system which uses natural breathing rather than a breathing method through the training of the patient.
