A Deformable Registration-Based Pipeline for the Characterisation of Respiratory Motion from 2D Lung Cine MRI

Authors: Michael W. Kissick, Chung Tin Lo, Jamie R McClelland, Niek Schreuder, Tracy Underwood

Affiliation: Hawkes Institute, University College London, Leo Cancer Care

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The emerging field of upright radiotherapy raises the question of how respiratory motion differs between upright and supine treatment postures. Therefore, we have developed a versatile pipeli...
