A new algorithm for autoreconstruction of catheters in computed tomography-based brachytherapy treatment planning
2001
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering
This paper describes innovative software for automatic reconstruction, which we term autoreconstruction, of plastic and metallic brachytherapy catheters using CT data. ...
The patient data consists of a set of post-implantation CT images with the catheters in situ in their final positions. ...
Computers are now essential for the treatment planning procedure, particularly for CT based planning techniques. ...

Catheter autoreconstruction in computed tomography based brachytherapy treatment planning
2000
Medical Physics (Lancaster)
The aim of this study is to develop an automatic reconstruction of brachytherapy catheters using CT ͑computed tomography͒ data. ...
Previously no such automatic facility has existed in any treatment planning software. ...
CONCLUSIONS Our autoreconstruction algorithm significantly improves, simplifies and accelerates the imaging based brachytherapy treatment planning procedure. ...

CT imaging based digitally reconstructed radiographs and their application in brachytherapy
2000
Physics in Medicine and Biology
The advantages of using such DRRs in modern 3D brachytherapy treatment planning are shown. ...
These DRR images can be used in three-dimensional treatment planning for external beam radiotherapy as well as for brachytherapy in the same way as conventional radiographic films. ...
