Visualization and 3D-Interaction for Hyperthermia Treatment Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
In regional hyperthermia extensive numerical simulations are required for optimizing individual cancer therapy treatments. To take full advantage of such simulations a therapy planning system is needed. In this paper we discuss a new hyperthermia planning system, focussing on its visualization and 3D-interaction functionality. Our software, called HyperPlan, assists the whole treatment planning process with state-of-the-art numerics and visual controlling techniques. Its exible design allows it to be used in both hyperthermia research and clinical practice.

متن کاملInteractive Visualization Techniques for Neurosurgery Planning
We present concepts for pre-operative planning of brain tumor resections. The proposed system uses a combination of traditional and novel visualization techniques rendered in real-time on modern GPUs in order to support neurosurgeons during intervention planning. A set of multimodal 2D and 3D renderings conveys the relation between the lesion and the various structures at risk and also depicts ...
