Motion Measurements in Low-Contrast X-ray Imagery

Measuring motion in medical imagery becomes more and more important, in particular for object tracking, image registration, and local displacement measurements. Such measurements are especially difficult in megavoltage X-ray images (portal images), which are used to control the position of patients in high precision radiotherapy. Low contrast, blur, and noise render accurate measurements difficult.
