Description

Ventilation measured on 4D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using deformable image registration (DIR) may predict specific radiation sensitivity, but the measurement is affected by the current image quality. With 4D computed tomography (CT) measured ventilation acting as a gold standard the current study investigates if image improvements increase the accuracy of 4D-CBCT measured ventilation.
