Classification of changes occurring in lung patient during radiotherapy using relative γ analysis and hidden Markov models.

CONCLUSION: We showed a method to classify patients during the course of radiotherapy based on relative changes in EPID images and a hidden Markov model. Information obtained through this automated classification can complement the clinical information collected during treatment and help identify patients in need of a plan adaptation.
