Characterization of the Megavoltage Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (MV-CBCT) System on HalcyonTM for IGRT: Image Quality Benchmark, Clinical Performance, and Organ Doses

Purpose: The Varian Halcyon includes an ultrafast 6 MV flattening filter free (FFF) cone-beam computed tomography (MV-CBCT). Although a kV-CBCT add-on is available, in the basic configuration MV is used for image guided radiotherapy (IGRT). We characterized the MV-CBCT imager in terms of reproducibi...
