Abstract

BACKGROUND: Motion-compensated (MoCo) reconstruction shows great promise in improving four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) image quality. MoCo reconstruction for a 4D-CBCT could be more accurate using motion information at the CBCT imaging time than that obtained from previous 4D-CT scans. However, such data-driven approaches are hampered by the quality of initial 4D-CBCT images used for motion modeling.
