Accurate patient alignment without unnecessary imaging using patient-specific 3D CT images synthesized from 2D kV images

Abstract Background In radiotherapy, 2D orthogonally projected kV images are used for patient alignment when 3D-on-board imaging (OBI) is unavailable. However, tumor visibility is constrained due to the projection of patient’s anatomy onto a 2D plane, potentially leading to substantial setup errors....
