Dynamic Cone-beam Reconstruction for Perfusion Computed Tomography
Perfusion CT (Computed Tomography) is a dynamic imaging technique whose aim is to assess the blood supply to tissue. The limited field of view of current CT detectors restricts its use to perfusion studies of a small volume. The introduction of large area detectors in CT, however, will allow …

Cone Beam Computed Tomography - radiation dose and image quality assessments
… technologies are available to the dental field, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as one of the most important. CBCT is a catch-all term for a technology comprising a variety of machines differing in many respects: patient positioning, volume size (FOV), radiation quality, image capturing and …

Motion binning in cone-beam CT without a prior Model
Cone-beam CT (CBCT), used to reduce setup error in radiotherapy, takes a sequence of about 670 two-dimensional X-rays acquired in a circular arc around the patient over two minutes and reconstructs a three-dimensional volume from these projections. Consequently, when tissues move significantly …

Applications of cone beam computed tomography in radiotherapy treatment planning.
… capable of 2D planar imaging, fluoroscopy and 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. With CBCT imaging, the treatment plan can be modified based on patient’s anatomy just before the treatment session. This method of Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) helps in managing a patient’s treatment by …

Optimizing Kilovoltage Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
Kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (kV CBCT) has important applications in image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). In its current state, CBCT is suboptimal for these applications due to its considerable radiation dose, poor soft-tissue contrast and inaccurate Hounsfield Units as a result of …

Optimization of Non-Local Means filtration for Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the internals of an object from a set of X-ray images. The X-ray images are taken with a cone shaped X-ray beam at many angles around the object being visualized. The images are then back projected through a …

Scattered radiation in cone beam computed tomography : analysis, quantification and compensation
… of 3D imaging functionality by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). With this technique a large number of projections is acquired during a rotation of the C-arm around the patient. Afterwards, these projections are reconstructed to volumetric images using algorithms similar to …

X-ray Scatter Computation and Simulation in Cone Beam Computed Tomography
In cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a large subject volume within the x-ray field, the measured signal can be contaminated by a large amount of scattered photons due to x-ray interactions with the irradiated object. The photon scatter can severely degrade the quality of the reconstructed …

IMAGE-BASED RESPIRATORY MOTION EXTRACTION AND RESPIRATION-CORRELATED CONE BEAM CT (4D-CBCT) RECONSTRUCTION
Accounting for respiration motion during imaging helps improve targeting precision in radiation therapy. Respiratory motion can be a major source of error in determining the position of thoracic and upper abdominal tumor targets during radiotherapy. Thus, extracting respiratory motion is a key task …
