Nano X Image Guidance in radiation therapy: feasibility study protocol for cone beam computed tomography imaging with gravity-induced motion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This paper describes the protocol for the Nano X Image Guidance (Nano X IG) trial, a single-institution, clinical imaging study. The Nano X is a prototype fixed-beam radiotherapy system developed to investigate the feasibility of a low-cost, compact radiotherapy system to increase global access to radiation therapy. This study aims to assess the feasibility of volumetric image guidance with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquired during horizontal patient rotation on the Nano X radiotherapy system.

Methods

In the Nano X IG study, we will determine whether radiotherapy image guidance can be performed with the Nano X radiotherapy system where the patient is horizontally rotated while scan projections are acquired. We will acquire both conventional CBCT scans a
