Statistical Characteristics of Portal Images and Their Influence in Noise Reduction

Portal imaging is used in radiotherapy to asses the correct positioning of the patient before applying the treatment. Given the high energy particles used in portal image formation, portal image is intrinsically bound by low contrast and poor spatial resolution. The relevance of portal imaging in radiotherapy treatments and its common use justify efforts to improve its inherent low quality.
