Evaluation and Clinical Application of a Commercially Available Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm for CBCT-Based IGRT.

CONCLUSION:: Noise and contrast-to-noise ratio image quality characteristics were significantly improved using the iterative cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction algorithm relative to the filtered back-projection-based cone-beam computed tomography method. These improvements will enhance the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography-based image-guided applications. PMID: 30803367 [PubMed - in process]
