Interactive and scale invariant segmentation of the rectum/sigmoid via user-defined templates
Among all types of cancer, gynecological malignancies belong to the 4 most frequent type of cancer among women. Besides chemotherapy and external beam radiation, brachytherapy is the standard procedure for the treatment of these malignancies. In the progress of treatment planning, localization of the tumor as the target volume and adjacent organs of risks by segmentation is crucial to accomplis...
متن کاملEliciting User Expectations for Data Behavior via Invariant Templates
People expect software that they use for everyday purposes to be dependable enough for their needs. Usually, they can tolerate some failures, provided they can notice and recover from problems.

متن کاملDeveloping a Verification and Training Phantom for Gynecological Brachytherapy System
Introduction Dosimetric accuracy is a major issue in the quality assurance (QA) program for treatment planning systems (TPS). An important contribution to this process has been a proper dosimetry method to guarantee the accuracy of delivered dose to the tumor. In brachytherapy (BT) of gynecological (Gyn) cancer it is usual to insert a combination of tandem and ovoid applicators with a complicat...
متن کاملAn empirical study on the adoption of C++ templates: Library templates versus user defined templates
Template is a powerful language feature to develop reusable programs, which has long been widely used by C++ programmers. Among various templates, library templates play a key role, as they provide programmers fault-free generic units. But to our surprise, little work has been done to study how these templates are adopted in real software. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on the ado...
