TL;DR: Experiments and clinical trials suggest that robot-based methods can substantially reduce the safety margins currently needed in radiation therapy.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method for performing treatment on an internal target region while compensating for breathing and other motion of the patient is provided in which the apparatus comprises a first imaging device for periodically generating positional data about the internal target regions and a second imaging device that continuously generates position data about one or more external markers attached to the patient's body or any external sensor such as a device for measuring air flow.

TL;DR: The clinical trials confirm the hypothesis that internal motion and external motion are indeed correlated and extend the work to tracking without implanted fiducials, based on algorithms for computing deformation motions and digitally reconstructed radiographs.

TL;DR: This work investigates MTGPs for physiological monitoring with synthetic data sets and two real-world problems from the field of patient monitoring and radiotherapy, and shows that the framework learned the correlation between physiological time series efficiently, outperforming the existing state of the art.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for navigating in the interior of the body using three-dimensional visualised structures was proposed, in which at least two two-dimensional images (50, 50') of the same anatomical object (12) from different perspectives and information enabling the respective spatial position of an imaging system in relation to the anatomical object to be determined are provided.
