This paper reviews existing techniques to deliver radiotherapy treatment and describes the requirements from a control engineering view point to adapt radiation delivery to organs motion. The first part describes recent evolution of radiotherapy research; the second part focuses on imaging modalities used in radiotherapy; the third part reviews image processing techniques to detect organ movement; the final section compares traditional PID with predictive control strategies for use in patient positioning devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
