Accurate patient alignment without unnecessary imaging using patient-specific 3D CT images synthesized from 2D kV images by Yuzhen Ding, Jason M. Holmes, Hongying Feng, Baoxin Li, Lisa A. McGee, Jean-Claude M. Rwigema, Sujay A. Vora, William W. Wong, Daniel J. Ma, Robert L. Foote, Samir H. Patel, Wei Liu

“…Results We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach on 10 patients with head and neck (H&N) cancer using image quality (MAE: < 45HU), dosimetric accuracy (Gamma passing rate ((2%/2 mm/10%): > 97%) and patient position uncertainty (shift error: < 0.4 mm). Conclusions The proposed framework can generate accurate 3D CT faithfully mirroring patient position effectively, thus substantially improving patient setup accuracy, keeping imaging dose minimal, and maintaining treatment veracity.…”
