Characterization of a prototype rapid kilovoltage x‐ray image guidance system designed for a linear accelerator radiation therapy unit
The novel HS-CBCT system on a conventional C-arm linac exhibits superior imaging capabilities compared to the OG-CBCT. Faster gantry speed, larger imaging area, and advanced reconstruction algorithms contribute to enhanced image quality and reduced dose. The study provides comprehensive insights into the new system's performance, serving as a benchmark for future linac installations and highlighting potential benefits in clinical applications. Further investigations are suggested for 4D acquisitions and long-term machine performance.
