4D cone-beam CT image reconstruction of Varian TrueBeam v1.6 projection images for clinical quality assurance of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to the lung

On-board cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging integrated with medical linear accelerators offers a viable tool for tumor localization just prior to radiation treatment delivery. However, the exact tumor location during treatment is not well-defined due to respiratory motion. This is taken in...
