A Novel Image-Based Framework for Real-Time 3D Motion Tracking of Abdominal Tumors on Conventional Linear Accelerators
Radiotherapy for upper abdominal cancers is limited by respiratory motion and the low radiation tolerance, restricting safe dose escalation. Conventional linear accelerators rely on kV X-ray and CBCT imaging but lack real-time internal motion tracking capabil...
