Computed tomography localization of radiation treatment delivery versus conventional localization with bony landmarks
A computed tomography (CT) scanner was installed in the linear accelerator room (Primatom) at Morristown. Since June 2000, we have been providing prostate, lung, and liver cancer patients with fusion of CT and linac radiation treatment. This paper describes our registration methods between planning and treatment CT images, and compares treatment localization by CT versus conventional localizati...
متن کاملStudying localization with landmarks
Localization with landmarks is a recurrent problem in robotics. In order to perceive the environment, robots are often equipped with some exteroceptive sensors (such as camera, laser range finder, etc). One way of using these sensors for localization is to detect some features in the environment and to use them as landmarks. In this paper, we present how we tackle the complete set up of a fast,...

متن کاملLandmarks for absolute localization
For certain experiments in mobile robotics, it is convenient to eliminate positional estimation error in the interest of analyzing other parts of the experiment. We designed and implemented a simple, accurate scheme for encoding and recovering absolute position information. The encoding is a two-dimensional image printed on the plane of the floor, and the absolute position information is recove...
متن کاملAccuracy of early-phase versus dual-phase single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in the localization of parathyroid disease.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Preoperative localization for parathyroid disease has improved in recent years with the advent of dual-phase (99m) Tc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. However, dual-phase imaging is associated with increased cost, time, and radiation dose. The aim of this study was to investigate the need for late-phase imaging wh...
