Aim Irregular breathing can exacerbate errors in medical imaging and radiotherapy. The audiovisual (AV) biofeedback system is an advanced form of breathing training that has been proposed to facilitate regular patient respiration.
Fig. 1: AV Biofeedback: The patient, during either imaging (left) or treatment (right), matches their breathing to a personalised, computer-generated pattern of regular breathing (centre). References: University of Sydney - SYDNEY/AU The clinical benefits of AV biofeedback will be investigated in an upcoming multisite, randomised trial: Audio-Visual Investigation Advancing ThOracic Radiotherapy (AVIATOR)
Methods and materials There are seven oncology departments participating in the AVIATOR trial:

AVIATOR is a prospective, multi-institutional, randomised phase II clinical trial; the largest of its kind to date. A sample size of 50 lung cancer patients receiving the AV biofeedback system (intervention group) with 25 lung cancer patients receiving standard care (control group). The AVIATOR trial is also stratified by treatment intent (radical or palliateive) and oncology department.

Personal information Sean Pollock graduated with a B.Sc. majoring in physics and mathematics in 2010 before completing a Masters of Medical Physics in 2012 at the University of Sydney. Sean continues his studies at the University of Sydney with a PhD (Medicine) in the Radiation Physics Laboratory under the supervision of Paul Keall. The focus of Sean's PhD is spearheading the clinical investigation of the respiratory guidance system: audiovisual (AV) biofeedback.
