In our Image Reconstruction team, we develop state-of-the-art algorithms and software for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image processing and reconstruction. Varian’s treatment delivery systems use our software to reconstruct 3D and 4D images of the patient’s anatomy. The images are nominaly used for patient positioning on the treatment machine, with recent advances in image quality opening up their potential to be used also for replanning and adaptive radio-therapy.
