    This study presents an algorithm for visualizing radiation beam interactions with image planes in 3D external beam radiation therapy. It aids in assessing tumor coverage and healthy tissue exposure during treatment planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Computational Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate visualization of radiation beams is crucial for effective cancer treatment planning.
    • Assessing tumor coverage and surrounding healthy tissue dose is essential in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present an algorithm for displaying the intersection of shaped radiation beams with arbitrarily oriented image planes.
    • To facilitate graphical investigation of tumor coverage and healthy tissue radiation exposure in 3D EBRT.

    Main Methods:

    • An algorithm is presented that projects contour points defining the radiation beam's aperture onto the image plane.
    • The method provides a general procedure for calculating these intersections.
    • Special cases requiring non-straightforward projection are addressed.
