Effect of different noise reduction techniques and template matching parameters on markerless tumor tracking using dual‐energy imaging

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the impact of various noise reduction algorithms and template matching parameters on the accuracy of markerless tumor tracking (MTT) using dual‐energy (DE) imaging. Methods A Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator was used to acquire a series of alternating 60 and 120 kVp images (over a 180° arc) using fast kV switching, on ...

Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) Fails Barcoding of the Genus Neotinea Rchb.f. (Orchidaceae)

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021
Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) is one of the most used barcoding regions for the molecular phylogenetics and barcoding of orchids. Our aim in this study is to test the reliability of ITS on barcoding of closely related Neotinea spp., including ...
