Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The therapeutic management of neoplasm employs high level energy beam to ablate malignant cells, which can cause collateral damage to adjacent normal tissue. Furthermore, respiration-induced organ motion, during radiotherapy can lead to significant displacement of neoplasms. In this work, a non-invasive ultrasound-based deep learning algorithm for respiratory motion compensation system (RMCS) was developed to mitigate the effect of respiratory motion induced neoplasm movement in radiotherapy.
