Radiotherapy has become a critical component for the treatment of all stages and types of lung cancer, often times being the primary gateway to a cure. However, given that radiation …
Radiation therapy (RT) of the lung requires deformation analysis. Deformable image registration (DIR) is the fundamental method to quantify deformations for various …
Objective. Real-time imaging, a building block of real-time adaptive radiotherapy, provides instantaneous knowledge of anatomical motion to drive delivery adaptation to improve …
J Wang, X Gu - Medical physics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose: Image reconstruction and motion model estimation in four‐dimensional cone‐ beam CT (4D‐CBCT) are conventionally handled as two sequential steps. Due to the limited …
Purpose: To develop a technique to estimate onboard 4D‐CBCT using prior information and limited‐angle projections for potential 4D target verification of lung radiotherapy. Methods …
Background Real‐time liver imaging is challenged by the short imaging time (within hundreds of milliseconds) to meet the temporal constraint posted by rapid patient breathing …
