A self-navigated respiratory motion detection (CAPTURE) and a deep learning 4D reconstruction method were used to derive the 3D deformable motion field for a 0.35 T MRI-LINAC system. Promising results were obtained despite the low SNR at 0.35 T.
Figure 3. Images reconstructed using non-MoCo, MCNUFFT, CS and P2P from a healthy subject. The top row shows phase 1, corresponding to the end-of-expiration, and the bottom row shows phase 5, corresponding to the end-of-inspiration. Blue arrows point to a region of comparison for image quality among the three methods.
