2D Fluoroscopic Image Registration for Target Localization and Patient Monitoring in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy

Many hospitals use image-guided cone-beam computed tomography (CT) to provide qualitative treatment for cancer patients. Although cone-beam CT provides good volumetric images, it takes a while to reconstruct them, which limits its applications because in many cases, real-time spatial information about patient’s internal structures is needed. To overcome this slow image reconstruction problem and missing […]
