Nowadays four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) is popularly used in evaluating respiration-related organ motion for patients under radiotherapy. As consisting of multiple subsets of CT images, a larger storage space is needed for 4DCT. In this study, the correlations information within these subsets was explored and the popular video encoders were used for 4DCT image compression.
