Image-guided Radiotherapy Based on Kilovoltage Cone-beam Computed Tomography — A Review of Technology and Clinical Outcome

Abstract

In this article an overview about the technology and clinical application of gantry-mounted kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems for image-guided high-precision radiotherapy is provided. The emphasis will be on the body sites that are most frequently targeted in daily clinical routine (prostate, lung and head-and-neck region).
