Moving targets in 4D-CTs versus MIP and AIP: comparison of patients data to phantom data

Abstract Purpose Maximum (MIP) and average intensity projection (AIP) CTs allow rapid definition of internal target volumes in a 4D-CT. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of these techniques in a large patient cohort in combination with simulations on a lung phantom. Methods 4DCT d...
