*Introduction*Medical images registration is the process of superimposing two or more images of the same scene taken at different times, from different points of view, and / or by different sensors. This geometrically aligns two images, the reference one and the detected (mobile) image. In radiotherapy, the clinical evaluation of a treatment plan is performed by various methods, such as image...

During proton beam radiotherapy, an ideal treatment plan has all the primary protons stopping at the edge of the tumour volume. Due to the sharp fall-off at the end of the Bragg peak, an in-vivo verification of the delivered dose has become a priority to ensure minimal radiation damage to the normal tissue surrounding the tumour and to ensure uniform dose deposition within the tumour. ...

Introduction:
Prior to the introduction of on-board kilovoltage X-ray imaging, portal imaging (that is, radiographic imaging with the megavoltage (MV) treatment beam) was the most effective way to verify the patient’s position for external beam radiation therapy. Portal imaging began with film based detectors and evolved to digital detectors known commonly as electronic portal imaging...
