Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a new imaging modality called X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT) technology and can be combined with traditional pulse and echo ultrasound imaging. It has the capability of real-time monitoring of geometric and morphological misalignments of the X-ray field with respect to the target tissue, thus improving radiotherapy tumor eradication and limiting treatment side effects. The XACT/US image-guided radiotherapy system according to embodiments holds great potential for personalized cancer treatment and better outcomes.
