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 CBC...
BACKGROUND: Contouring of internal gross target volume (iGTV) is an essential part of treatment planning in radiotherapy to mitigate the impact of intra-fractional target motion. However, it is usually time-consuming and easily subjected to intra-obs...
4D-CBCT provides phase-resolved images valuable for radiomics analysis for outcome prediction throughout treatment courses. However, 4D-CBCT suffers from streak artifacts caused by under-sampling, which severely degrades the accuracy of radiomic feat...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment plan with the target of a newly predicted internal target volume (ITV) and the feasibility of its clinical application. ITV was ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) is the most commonly used algorithm for four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) reconstruction due to its high speed. However, the image quality is worse than that of model-based itera...
PURPOSE: For pancreatic cancer patients, image guided radiation therapy and real-time tumor tracking (RTTT) techniques can deliver radiation to the target accurately. Currently, for the radiation therapy machine with kV X-ray imaging systems, interna...
Automatic cardiac chamber and left ventricular (LV) myocardium segmentation over the cardiac cycle significantly extends the utilization of contrast-enhanced cardiac CT, potentially enabling in-depth assessment of cardiac function. Therefore, we eval...
PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the main source of toxicity in thoracic radiotherapy. This study proposed a deep learning-based dual-omics model, which aims to improve the RP prediction performance by integrating more data points and exploring...
