Planning Lung Radiotherapy Incorporating Motion Freeze PET/CT Imaging

PETCT in radiotherapy treatment planning

Imaging tumour motion for radiotherapy planning using MRI

Novel technology has made dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lung motion and lung tumour mobility during continuous respiration feasible. This might be beneficial for planning of radiotherapy of lung tumours, especially when using high precision techniques. This paper describes the recent developments to analyze and visualize pulmonary nodules during continuous respiration using MRI. B...

PETCT in lung cancer staging

Incorporating learning in motion planning techniques

Robot motion planning in a cluttered environment requires knowledge about robot shape and size. These robot characteristics in uence system performance eventhough most motion planning methods do not consider them. This paper presents an ongoing work that studies general motion planning techniques in combination with knowledge related to robot shape and size. The system acquires knowledge and le...

A fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study

Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...
