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...
During lung SBRT, tumor motion is managed using 4DCT-based ITV expansion, respiratory or external gating, or breath-hold techniques, each with limitations. Existing real-time tracking methods require implanted fiducials or additional imaging dose. A non-invas...
To evaluate the dosimetric accuracy of plans calculated on the Varian TrueBeam HyperSight cone beam CT (CTHS) imager upgrade compared to current fan beam simulation CT (CTSim) solutions towards online adaptive radiotherapy.
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...
