Advances in technology have enabled radiotherapy to become more sophisticated and more efficient at treating cancer. Yet, despite its sophistication, today radiotherapy suffers from a major problem: whilst we routinely image patients prior to treatment, no anatomical information is available during treatment. This project aims to solve this problem by making use of a number of sensors that are already available in a radiotherapy to track the tumours positions during treatment, when it counts.

技术的进步使放射疗法在治疗癌症方面变得更加复杂和有效。然而，尽管放射治疗非常复杂，但如今放射治疗仍面临一个重大问题：虽然我们在治疗前定期对患者进行成像，但在治疗期间却无法获得任何解剖信息。该项目旨在通过利用放射治疗中现有的许多传感器来解决这个问题，在治疗过程中（关键时）跟踪肿瘤位置。
