Abstract: Background: Image guidance using planar orthogonal X-Ray Digital Radiography is the standard technique for patient positioning in particle therapy (PT). Intensity or point-based image registration using bony anatomy or implanted markers is used to evaluate position error and apply a 6 degree of freedom[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]<br />PTCOG 48; Meeting of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group
