Cone beam CTs at typical kV energies exhibit metal artifacts in IGRT patients with metal prosthetics. MV-CBCT, available on some linacs, reduces artifacts at the expense of soft tissue contrast-to-noise (CNR). As a remedy, we propose an AI network to convert...
Dual-layer imagers (DLIs) enable simultaneous acquisition of low- and high-energy images in a single exposure, offering detector-based spectral imaging capability for the on-board kV imaging systems of conventional linear accelerators towards avoiding motion...
Spectral imaging confers several benefits such as material decomposition, increased soft tissue contrast, and metal artifact reduction. Novel methods currently under evaluation for adoption to linac onboard imaging include a kV dual-layer imager investigated...
