Feasibility of markerless tumor tracking by sequential dual-energy fluoroscopy on a clinical tumor tracking system

Abstract A novel approach to dual-energy imaging for markerless tumor tracking was proposed consisting of sequential dual-energy fluoroscopy, omitting the need for fast-switching kV generators. The implementation of this approach on a clinical tumor tracking system and its efficacy is shown feasible...

Summary:Abstract A novel approach to dual-energy imaging for markerless tumor tracking was proposed consisting of sequential dual-energy fluoroscopy, omitting the need for fast-switching kV generators. The implementation of this approach on a clinical tumor tracking system and its efficacy is shown feasible through optimization of the imaging parameters.
