Abstract

Systems and methods for localizing a target for radiotherapy based on digital tomosynthesis are provided. According to one method, DTS verification image data of a target located within or on a patient is generated. The DTS verification image data is compared with DTS reference image data of the target. Radiotherapy positioning information is determined based on the comparison of the DTS verification and reference image data.
