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...
Markerless tumor tracking (MTT) using single-energy (SE) kilovoltage (kV) imaging is being considered for lung tumor motion management. However, bone overlap with tumor can reduce visibility and tracking accuracy. Dual-energy (DE) imaging suppresses bone and...
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.
Conventional dual-energy material decomposition methods suffer from significant noise amplification, which limits their clinical utility for tasks such as intra-fraction markerless tumor tracking. This study introduces PRISM, an open-source Julia framework sp...
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...
