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.

技术的进步使放射治疗在治疗癌症方面变得更加复杂和有效。然而，尽管它很复杂，今天的放射治疗有一个主要问题：虽然我们在治疗前通常对患者进行成像，但在治疗期间没有解剖学信息。这个项目的目的是解决这个问题，利用一些已经在放射治疗中可用的传感器来跟踪治疗过程中肿瘤的位置，当它重要的时候。
