Megavoltage image-based dynamic multileaf collimator tracking of a NiTi stent in porcine lungs on a linear accelerator.

Abstract

For the first time, in vivo DMLC tracking has been demonstrated on a linear accelerator showing the potential for improved targeting accuracy.

The study mimicked the envisioned patient workflow of future patient treatments.

Clinical implementation of MV image-based tracking would require markers designed for MV visibility.
