Isodose Curve Manipulation for Interactive Dose Shaping
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A new therapy planning strategy We are investigating a new therapy planning strategy: interactive dose shaping (IDS). This planning paradigm aims to perform interactive local dose adaptations of a plan without compromising already established valuable dose features in real time. The key operation that facilitates dose shaping in real time by a direct interaction with a 3D dose distribution through a graphical interface is a two-step dose modification and recovery (DMR) strategy. In this work we introduce an interactive isodose curve manipulation tool which enables local modifications of a dose distribution by intuitively dragging an isodose curve.
