Description
Hannah Jungreuthmayer and seven co-authors published a medical physics study in twenty twenty-six benchmarking two X-ray imaging systems for watching lung tumors move during precision radiotherapy. One imager stands in the room; the other rides the treatment machine's gantry. Thorax phantoms with embedded tumors were imaged across voltage, current, and exposure settings.
Image contrast agreed within fifteen percent between the systems and stayed stable over long imaging runs. Skin entrance doses under default settings were similar, in the low forties of milligray for a typical treatment. Tube heating and cooldown limits, which cap how long live fluoroscopy can run, were measured for both. The verdict equips clinics to choose hardware for motion-managed lung treatments on evidence.
