Adaptive Visual Saliency Feature Enhancement of CBCT for Image-Guided Radiotherapy
Applied Sciences, 2023 Unlike the high imaging radiation dose of computed tomography (CT), cone-beam CT (CBCT) has smaller radiation dose and presents less harm to patients. Therefore, CBCT is often used for target delineation, dose planning, and postoperative evaluation in ...
