During lung cancer treatment with radiotherapy, only 2D chest images can be provided in real time using conventional techniques. Using optical flow and principal components analysis, 3D chest images can be reconstructed fast and accurately from limited information, which is a step forward in monitoring and automatic tumor tracking.
