Motion-Artifact-Free Imaging for Safer, Precise Radiotherapy
Reduction of Motion Artefacts for 4DCBCT
Tags: The University of Sydney, Australia, Healthcare & Lifesciences
This technology enhances image acquisition for next-generation linear accelerators in radiotherapy, addressing motion artifacts caused by breathing during treatment. By employing a novel reconstruction method, it enables more accurate targeting of tumors for patients unable to tolerate abdominal compression techniques. Applications include improving radiotherapy outcomes and reducing side effects for thorax, abdomen, and breast cancer patients. The solution aligns with AAPM and ESTRO guidelines, offering safer and more precise treatment protocols. A provisional patent (AU/2024/900747) secures its innovation for integration with clinical radiotherapy settings.
