First steps towards ultrasound-based motion compensation for imaging and therapy: calibration with an optical system and 4D PET imaging

First steps towards ultrasound-based motion compensation for imaging and therapy: calibration with an optical system and 4D PET imaging

Target motion, particularly in the abdomen, due to respiration or patient movement is still a challenge in many diagnostic and therapeutic processes. Hence, methods to detect and compensate this motion are required. Diagnostic ultrasound represents a non-invasive and dose-free alternative to fluoros...
