Towards Intelligent Tumor Tracking and Setup Verification in Radiation Therapy For Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the most deadly cancer in the United States. Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation with high energy to destroy lung tumor cells by damaging their genetic material, preventing those cells from reproducing. The most challenging aspect of modern radiation therapy for lung cancer is t...
