DOI: 10.1007/s11548-019-02088-9
Abstract: Purpose Surgical navigation systems are generally only applied for targets in rigid areas. For non-rigid areas, real-time tumor tracking can be included to compensate for anatomical changes. The only clinically cleared system using a wireless… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/ab79c5
Abstract: To improve respiratory-gated radiotherapy accuracy, we developed a machine learning approach for markerless tumor tracking and evaluated it using lung cancer patient data. Digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) datasets were generated using planning 4DCT data. Tumor… read more here.
