Abstract:
A real time CT-linked 3-D treatment planning system, called a CT simulator, has been developed. The basic system consists of a CT scanner, a multi-image display component, a treatment planning device with real time visual optimization, and a laser beam projecting component. All the components are connected on line. The system can be conveniently used for 3-D planning and simulation for radiation therapy within a reasonably short period of time.
