4D CT scan Generation of Lung from Physical Simulation of Pulmonary Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cancer treatments by ionising beam need accurate tumour targeting, which is di cult for lung cancer, due to breathing motions. We propose here to provide physicians with 3D + time CT scan of lung from a physically based simulation of respiratory organs motion.

4D-CT Simulation using Individually Optimized Contrast Enhancement (CE): A Phantom Study
Innovation/Impact: 4D-CT simulation has been widely used to estimate the respiratory motion of lung tumors and abdominal tumors for radiotherapy planning. However, most abdominal tumors (liver, pancreas etc.) cannot be readily visualized in CT without dynamic CE. It is desirable to combine a 4D-CT without CE and a CE 3D-CT into a CE 4D-CT so that we can both visualize the tumor and estimate its...
متن کاملImproving iterative 4D CBCT through the use of motion information
In Image-Guided RadioTherapy (IGRT) of lung tumors, patients undergo a 4D CT, on the basis of which their treatment is planned. It is implicitely assumed that their breathing motion will not change much throughout the treatment, and remain close to what it was during the 4D CT acquisition. During the treatment, several cone beam CT acquisitions are performed, and used to re-position the patient...
متن کاملThoracic CT Scan Findings in Patients with HIV/TB co-infection before and after treatment
Background and Aim: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) infection is common in patients infected with the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this study, we evaluated thoracic CT scan findings of HIV/TB co-infection, before and after anti-TB treatment. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, pre-and post-treatment thoracic CT scans of patients diagnosed with HIV and defin...
متن کاملDynamic MLC Tracking Using 4D Lung Tumor Motion Modelling and EPID Feedback
Background: Respiratory motion causes thoracic movement and reduces targeting accuracy in radiotherapy. Objective: This study proposes an approach to generate a model to track lung tumor motion by controlling dynamic multi-leaf collimators. Material and Methods: All slices which contained tumor were contoured in the 4D-CT images for...
متن کاملEvaluation of the difference in severity of lung involvement in chest CT scan of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with Covid-19
Introduction: The new coronavirus, known as severe coronavirus syndrome (SARS-CoV2), is a viral pneumonia caused by an emerging virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (1). The etiology and pathology of the disease are not known exactly, but it has been reported to enter host cells by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2). (2) The range of clinical symptoms of the disease var...
