Abstract
This paper discusses fast pose verification for radiation therapy on a new high-speed radiation therapy device. The PHASER system follows the idea of 4th generation CT imaging and allows fast 360◦ treatment using a steerable electron beam. Doing so, dose delivery is possible in few seconds. A major problem, however, is fast verification of the patient pose during treatment. In this paper, we suggest to use a projection-based approach that can be evaluated quickly and allows an accuracy below 1mm as shown by our simulation study based on planning data from six 4D CT data sets.
