Reviewer 1 Report
- How the PCA and optimization method differ from previous studies?
- Justify why demon registration method is chosen?
- It is recommended to elaborate on the process to reduce the noise and the low quality of 4D CBCT images. Selection of ROI ? (page 5, line 176-183)
The write up: English writing and style is good.
Self citation: There are 13 papers (journals/conferences) that include the main author as part of the authors. Possibly reduce the self citation in particular for conference papers.
