Popis: Abstract Background During the day-night cycle, gravity and applied stress to the body mass and spine causes a decrease in body height, which is restored overnight. This diurnal spine length variation has not yet been quantified during radiotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to quantify diurnal spine length variation on cone beam CTs (CBCTs) of pediatric patients (
