A computer assisted stereotactic approach for multibeam radiation therapy planning

摘要

A system devoted to the localization and treatment of small cerebral lesions that can not be reached by surgery is presented. The method is based on the use of a stereotactic approach to localize the target and to guide the multibeam radiation therapy treatment. The approach and the pipeline software modules developed to process and control the radiation therapy planning are described. The application presented here is a first approach to computer-aided radiation planning and treatment.
