Summary

This study tested a new 2D antiscatter grid designed to improve the quality of cone beam CT (CBCT) images used during radiation therapy for prostate, head and neck, and upper abdomen cancers. Researchers compared standard CBCT images with those taken using the new grid in 43 participants. The goal was to see if the grid reduces image errors and improves tissue visibility, which could help doctors target tumors more accurately.
