Reducing radiation dose and enhancing imaging quality of 4DCT for radiation therapy using iterative reconstruction algorithms

Purpose: Four-dimensional computed tomography (CT) images are typically used to quantify the necessary internal target volumes for thoracic and abdominal tumors. However, 4-dimensional CT is typically associated with excessive imaging dose to patients and the situation is exacerbated when using repe...
