External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) utilizes high energy radiation (primarily photons or electrons) generated from a linear accelerator (linac) for the treatment of cancer. Current linac technologies lack the ability to continuously monitor the tumour and surround area during treatment. Real-time...

Time Domain Principal Component Analysis for Rapid, Real-Time 2D MRI Reconstruction from Undersampled Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Hybrid Linac-MR systems are becoming more mainstream for use in external beam radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients. The addition of an MR scanner to a linear accelerator (Linac) can allow for real-time structure tracking (such as a tumour) and on-the-fly adjustments of the radiation beam....
