Algorithms for modeling anatomic and target volumes in image-guided neurosurgery and radiotherapy
The use of image-guidance in surgery and radiotherapy has significantly improved patient outcome in neurosurgery and radiotherapy treatments. This work developed volume definition and verification techniques for image-guided applications, using a number of algorithms ranging from image processing to visualization. Stereoscopic visualization, volumetric tumor model overlaid on an ultrasound imag...
متن کاملDefining the tumour and target volumes for radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is a localised treatment. The definition of tumour and target volumes for radiotherapy is vital to its successful execution. This requires the best possible characterisation of the location and extent of tumour. Diagnostic imaging, including help and advice from diagnostic specialists, is therefore essential for radiotherapy planning. There are three main volumes in radiotherapy pl...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملIdentifying Brain Image Level Endophenotypes in Epilepsy
A brain wide association study (BWAS) based on the logistic regression was first developed and applied to a large population of epilepsy patients (168) and healthy controls (136). It was found that the most significant links associated with epilepsy are those bilateral links with regions mainly belonging to the default mode network and subcortex, such as amygdala, fusiform gyrus, inferior tempo...
متن کاملA Tri-Modality Image Fusion Method for Target Delineation of Brain Tumors in Radiotherapy
PURPOSE To develop a tri-modality image fusion method for better target delineation in image-guided radiotherapy for patients with brain tumors. METHODS A new method of tri-modality image fusion was developed, which can fuse and display all image sets in one panel and one operation. And a feasibility study in gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation using data from three patients with brain tumor...
