Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Image-Guided Therapy

Background:

  • Prostate marker tracking enhances radiotherapy efficiency by enabling precise beam targeting.
  • Current marker tracking lacks 3D imaging, hindering accurate dose calculation for adaptive planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for estimating 3D deformation from 2D marker positions during prostate radiotherapy.
  • To enable accurate dose calculation for adaptive radiotherapy using marker tracking data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a statistical shape model generated from planning images.
  • Fitting a deformed model to implanted marker locations during treatment to estimate spatial deformation.
  • Mapping planning image data to treatment space via the estimated deformation field.
