Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Four-dimensional CBCT (4D-CBCT) enables verification of moving targets during treatment, potentially allowing for reduced margins and increased dose.
  • Current 4D-CBCT reconstruction relies on external surrogates for respiratory phase, which may not accurately reflect internal anatomy motion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel, markerless, self-sorted 4D-CBCT reconstruction technique.
  • To extract respiratory phase directly from projection data without external surrogates.

Main Methods:

  • A Fourier transform (FT) based technique was developed to extract respiratory phase (FT-phase and FT-magnitude) from projection data.
  • The accuracy of the FT methods was quantitatively evaluated by comparing them to manually identified peak inspiration projections.
  • The methods were tested on phantom datasets with known respiratory cycles and patient projection data.

Main Results:

  • The FT-phase and FT-magnitude methods showed minimal average phase differences compared to manual identification (ranging from 1.8% to 5.3%).
  • High percentages of projections were assigned within 10% phase agreement (up to 100% for FT-phase and 98.7% for FT-magnitude).
  • Reconstructed 4D images from both Fourier methods were visually and quantitatively equivalent to those from the manual technique.

Conclusions:

  • A novel Fourier transform-based technique is feasible for markerless, self-sorted 4D-CBCT reconstruction.
  • This method accurately determines respiratory phase directly from projection data.
  • The technique holds promise for improving internal target verification in radiation therapy.
