Abstract	The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the changes in the planning target volume (PTV) and liver volume dose based on the respiratory phase to identify the optimal respiratory phase for respiratory-gated radiation therapy for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Based on the standardized procedure for respiratory-gated radiation therapy, we performed a 4-dimensional computed tomography simulation for 0 ∼ 90%, 30 ∼ 70%, and 40 ∼ 60% respiratory phases to assess the respiratory stability (S$_{ R }$) and the defined PTV$_{ i }$ for each respiratory phase i. A treatment plan was established, and the changes in the PTV$_{ i }$ and dose volume of the liver were quantitatively analyzed. Most patients (91.5%) passed the respiratory stability test (S$_{ R }$ = 0.111 ± 0.015). With standardized respiration training exercises, we were able to minimize the overall systematic error caused by irregular respiration. Furthermore, a quantitative analysis to identify the optimal respiratory phase revealed that when a short respiratory phase (40 ∼ 60%) was used, the changes in the PTV were concentrated inside the center line; thus, we were able to obtain both a PTV margin accounting for respiration and a uniform radiation dose within the PTV.
