Respiration-correlated CBCT, commonly called 4DCBCT, provide respiratory phase-resolved CBCT images. In many clinical applications, it is more preferable to reconstruct true 4DCBCT with the 4th dimension being time, i.e., each CBCT image is reconstructed based on the corresponding instantaneous projection. We propose in this work a novel algorithm for the reconstruction of this truly time-resolved CBCT, called cine-CBCT, by effectively utilizing the underlying temporal coherence, such as periodicity or repetition, in those cine-CBCT images. Assuming each column of the matrix $\bm{U}$ represents a CBCT image to be reconstructed and the total number of columns is the same as the number of projections, the central idea of our algorithm is that the rank of $\bm{U}$ is much smaller than the number of projections and we can use a matrix factorization form $\bm{U}=\bm{L}\bm{R}$ for $\bm{U}$. The number of columns for the matrix $\bm{L}$ constraints the rank of $\bm{U}$ and hence implicitly imposing a temporal coherence condition among all the images in cine-CBCT. The desired image properties in $\bm{L}$ and the periodicity of the breathing pattern are achieved by penalizing the sparsity of the tight wavelet frame transform of $\bm{L}$ and that of the Fourier transform of $\bm{R}$, respectively. A split Bregman method is used to solve the problem. In this paper we focus on presenting this new algorithm and showing the proof of principle using simulation studies on an NCAT phantom.
