Adaptive CaRdiac cOne BEAm computed Tomography (ACROBEAT) is a novel paradigm for imaging patients. It enables medical imaging and treatment hardware to be adapted to changes in patient cardiac and breathing rates in real-time. By syncing the hardware with the patient, ACROBEAT has the potential to transform 3D image guidance, aiding in the treatment of some of the most significant diseases. Current ACROBEAT applications include cardio-respiratory motion management in radiation therapy and cardiac radio-ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, as well as image-guided cardiac and intracranial interventional procedures.
