EFFICIENT PROCEDURE FOR COMPUTING TUMOUR TARGET VOLUMES ON CT IMAGES

摘要

This paper describes the software development to compute the exact cancer tumour volume to compare quantitatively with the marker levels from CT scan images. The assignment involves the transportation of image files from the CART format to PC in DOS format. It also generates image decoding function, computation and displacement in Planning Target Volume, Clinical Target Volume and Shell Target Volume. MATLAB program is developed for result verification, where as VISUAL BASIC is complied and run the final Graphical-User-Interface under WINDOW environment. The procedure is efficient with accurate result.
