Panoramic cone beam computed tomography
Abstract
Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the main imaging tool for image‐guided radiotherapy but its functionality is limited by a small imaging volume and restricted image position (imaged at the central instead of the treatment position for peripheral lesions to avoid collisions). In this paper, the authors present the concept of “panoramic CBCT,” which can image patients at the treatment position with an imaging volume as large as practically needed.
