Development of an Object-oriented Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning System

Abstract
|
|
|
In this paper, I present an object-oriented sterotactic radiosurgery planning system. It can calculate the dose distribution of an intended radiosurgery plan in various planes, and it can also display iso-dose curves overlapped on medical images
of
CT
and angiography. The user can locate tumors and finally determine the treatment parameters for the radio-surgery, interactively with the images. After calculating dose distribution, he can also scrutinize the amount of radiations on critical
organs
as
well as on the tumors. If there exist any over-dosed critical organs or under-dosed tumor parts, another planning process will start with modifying the treatment parameters. This process will be repeated until an optimal set of treatment
parameters
are
found. This system provides an environment in which the user can carry out this repetitive process, interactively. The object-oriented model is applied to analyze and solve the problem. Presently. The system performance is being evaluated by four
physicians and two medical physicists in two clinical sites.
