Due to breathing motion, lung tumours move during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Scatter imaging, which collects photons scattered out of the radiation therapy beam, is a potential technique for real-time tracking of lung tumours.

In this webinar, presented by Kevin Jones, the scatter imaging method is characterized through simulation, phantom experiments and analysis of clinical patient scatter images.

Kevin Jones, has published a paper on this topic in Physics in Medicine & Biology.
