Radiographer technique: Does it contribute to the question of clip migration?

abstract：PURPOSE:Four-dimensional CT (4D-CT) image data can be sorted into bins of each 10% of the respiratory cycle. From these data, an averaged scan (AS) and a maximum intensity projection (MIP) are derived. While sorting based on the respiratory cycle applies to lung tumours, the use of 4D-CT for the kidney has not been ana...
