Feasibility of ultra‐low‐dose volumetric 4D‐CT with frame averaging for high‐fidelity respiratory motion assessment and improved image quality

Ultra-low-dose v4D-CT combined with retrospective frame averaging provides accurate respiratory motion characterization and significantly enhanced image quality. This technique offers a viable, non-invasive alternative for patient-specific motion modeling in radiotherapy planning.
