METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IN SITU TARGETING OF OBJECTS

摘要

A method for tracking a target located within a body, whilst scanning the body using X-ray projections, the method including the steps of: (a) providing a first prior image of the body and target indicating their relative position; (b) iteratively performing, for a series of time intervals, the steps of: (i) acquiring a few spatially distributed x-ray projections of the target area; (ii) determining one of a series of motion phases for each x-ray projection; (iii) performing an iterative reconstruction of the image for each of the motion phases; and (iv) outputting a resultant image for a current time interval.
