Abstract
Extended field-of-view imaging is enabled by combined imaging with a kilovolt ('kV') x-ray source and a megavolt ('MV') x-ray source, in which at least one of the corresponding x-ray detectors is laterally offset from the target isocenter by an amount such that the x-ray detector does not have a view of the target isocenter. This scan geometry enables the reconstruction of non-truncated images without resorting to the more expensive solution of outfitting the imaging or radiotherapy system with enlarged x-ray detectors.
