Purpose or Objective: Four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) has great capability to provide volumetric and respiratory motion information with one gantry rotation. It is necessary to quantitatively assess, how difference of tumor displacement between actual and 4D-CBCT image exists. In this study, we evaluated the displacement of implanted fiducial markers assumed as tumor on fluoroscopic projection images and reconstructed 4D-CBCT images with different sorting methods.
