CT scans were conducted twice in all 122 tumors, once at the end of quiet inhalation and once at the end of exhalation. CT scans were conducted three times including at the end of quiet inhalation, at the end of exhalation and at free breathing in 36 tumors of 17 patients. The displacement of the tumor center in three directions was measured.Results: The 3D motion of 122 tumors was 10.10±7.16 mm. On average, the tumors moved 1.96±2.03 mm (rang 0-9 mm) in the X direction, 5.19±4.69 mm (rang 0-19 mm) in the Y direction, and 7.38±6.48 mm (rang 0-26 mm) in the Z direction. The 3D motion of tumors in the lower lung (13.00±7.64 mm) was significantly greater than that in the upper lung (7.15±5.14 mm), P},
