Extracting respiratory signals from thoracic cone beam CT projections.
The patient respiratory signal associated with the cone beam CT (CBCT) projections is important for lung cancer radiotherapy. In contrast to monitoring an external surrogate of respiration, such a signal can be extracted directly from the CBCT projections. In this paper, we propose a novel local principal component analysis (LPCA) method to extract the respiratory signal by distinguishing the r...
متن کاملRespiratory Signal Extraction for 4D CT Imaging of the Thorax from Cone-Beam CT Projections
Current methods of four-dimensional (4D) CT imaging of the thorax synchronise the acquisition with a respiratory signal to restrospectively sort acquired data. The quality of the 4D images relies on an accurate description of the position of the thorax in the respiratory cycle by the respiratory signal. Most of the methods used an external device for acquiring the respiratory signal. We propose...
متن کاملRespiratory correlated cone beam CT.
A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner integrated with a linear accelerator is a powerful tool for image guided radiotherapy. Respiratory motion, however, induces artifacts in CBCT, while the respiratory correlated procedures, developed to reduce motion artifacts in axial and helical CT are not suitable for such CBCT scanners. We have developed an alternative respiratory correlated proc...
متن کاملImage reconstruction from fan-beam and cone-beam projections
This thesis addresses the problem of reconstructing static objects in 2D and 3D transmission computed tomography (CT). After reviewing the classical CT reconstruction theory, we discuss and thoroughly evaluate various novel reconstruction methods, two of which are original. Our first original approach is for 2D CT reconstruction from full-scan fan-beam data, i.e., for 2D imaging in the geometry...
متن کاملRespiratory Motion Estimation from Cone-Beam Projections Using a Prior Model
Respiratory motion introduces uncertainties when planning and delivering radiotherapy for lung cancer patients. Cone-beam projections acquired in the treatment room could provide valuable information for building motion models, useful for gated treatment delivery or motion compensated reconstruction. We propose a method for estimating 3D+T respiratory motion from the 2D+T cone-beam projection s...
