Abstract

The second part of the special issue includes 5 articles. Among them, two evaluate the treatment effect using imaging techniques including fMRI and optical positioning system (OPS), and three address the issues related to development and application of new methods for improving the accuracy and efficiency of neuroimaging data analysis.Tumour tracking and radiotherapy are the most implemented technique in the treatment of brain cancer. However, patient-positioning accuracy continues to be an inevitable question in radiotherapy. In order to improve treatment efficacy, Zhou et al., reported a study that focused on the comparison of Cone Beam CT and OPS positioning in radiotherapy of phantom experiment [1]. To illustrate the positioning accuracy of OPS, a clinical trial using EPID was designed, and the comparative results of patient-positioning accuracy between using conventional positioning method and OPS was reported. In the end, the authors gave a report about the influence to the radiotherapy caused by the deviation of positioning in the radiotherapy and the OPS as a novel image guidance technology. The study concluded that, OPS had higher precise than conventional positioning methods, compartively fast, and efficient positioning method with respect to the CBCT guidance system.On the other hand, Li et al., investigated
