RADIO-THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT PLANNING INCORPORATING FUNCTIONAL IMAGING INFORMATION
摘要
<p>A radiation therapy planning procedure and device provides a model-based segmentation of co-registered anatomical and functional imaging information to provide a more precise radiation therapy plan. The biology-based segmentation models the imaging information to produce a parametric map, which is then clustered into regions of similar radiation sensitivity or other biological parameters relevant for treatment definition. Each clustered region is prescribed its own radiation prescription dose.</p>
