Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a major online imaging modality for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and improvement of CBCT image quality can contribute to detect accurate localization of target and administrate treatment dose. However, image quality of CBCT is superior to Fan beam CT, and this image degradation limits the accuracy of localization of target and make dose calculation on the CBCT images difficult. Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D-CBCT) is also well known as powerful modality for IGRT. Conventionally, it is reconstructed by sorting the X-ray projection images into each respiratory phase according to a breathing signal using the FDK algorithm. This usually leads to inadequate number of projections in each phase, resulting in low quality 4D-CBCT images with obvious streaking artifacts. We tried to improve the image quality for 4D CBCT using iterative reconstruction method (ML-convex) and compared with the images by FDK in SNR of the reconstructed images.
