To compare the traditional Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) and the Cone-Beam-Dose-Index (CBDI), an alternative metric that quantifies the average dose in the central region of a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan, for imaging dose measurements on bore-based linac...

Metal artifacts caused by implanted gold fiducial markers remain a significant challenge in cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging for prostate radiotherapy. Their high attenuation generates severe streaks and image distortions that decrease overall image quality. This...
