摘要： A system for radiation therapy includes a radiation planning system. The radiation planning system includes a data processor that is adapted to receive information concerning an intended radiation treatment region of a body, receive a calculated initial energy released per unit mass for a plurality of locations within the body, compute a radiation dose at a plurality of locations within the radiation treatment region based on the calculated initial energy released per unit mass and including radiation dose contributions due to scattering from other locations within the body, and determine radiation therapy parameters for providing radiation treatment to the intended radiation treatment region based on the radiation dose computed at the plurality of locations within the radiation treatment region. Including radiation dose contributions due to scattering from other locations within the body take into account density discontinuities in the body.

摘要： A method for selecting vertices for performing deformable registration of imaged objects is provided. The selected vertices form corresponding pairs, each pair including a vertex from a first imaged object and a vertex from a second imaged object. The corresponding vertex pairs are sorted in order of distance between the vertices making up the corresponding vertex pair. The corresponding vertex pair with the greatest distance is given top priority. Corresponding vertex pairs that lie within a selected distance from the selected corresponding vertex pair are discarded. In this manner, the number of vertex pairs used for deformable registration of the imaged objects is reduced and therefore allows for processing times that are clinically acceptable.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于选择用于执行成像对象的变形登记的顶点的方法。所选择的顶点形成对应的对，每对包括来自第一成像对象的顶点和来自第二成像对象的顶点。对应的顶点对按照构成相应顶点对的顶点之间的距离的顺序进行排序。具有最大距离的相应顶点对被赋予最高优先级。位于距所选择的对应顶点对的选定距离内的相应顶点对被丢弃。以这种方式，用于成像对象的可变形登记的顶点对的数量减少，因此允许临床可接受的处理时间。

摘要： A scanner (18) acquires images of a subject. A 3D model (52) of an organ is selected from an organ model database (50) and dropped over an image of an actual organ. A best fitting means (62) globally scales, translates and/or rotates the model (52) to best fit the actual organ represented by the image. A user uses a mouse (38) to use a set of manual tools (68) to segment and manipulate the model (52)1:o match the image data. The set of tools (68) includes: a Gaussian tool (72) for deforming a surface portion of the model along a Gaussian curve, a spherical push tool (80) for deforming the surface portion along a spherical surface segment, and a pencil tool (90) for manually drawing a line to which the surface portion is redefined.

摘要： The invention relates to the field of efficient segmentation of collections of anatomical structures in medical imaging. For example, in radiotherapy planning, the segmentation of a collection of several anatomical structures, which represent the target volume in risk organs is required. When using model based segmentation, organ models represented by flexible surfaces are adapted to the boundaries of the object of interest. According to an aspect of the present invention, object-specific a priori information is incorporated in the segmentation process, which allows to provide for an improved segmentation. Furthermore, the segmentation process according to the present invention, may have an improved robustness, also the time required for the segmentation maybe reduced.

摘要： A delineation of a structure of interest can be performed by fitting 3D deformable models, for example, represented by polygonal measures, to the boundaries of the structure of interest. The deformable model fitting process is guided by minimization of the sum of an external energy, based on image feature information, which attracts the mesh to the organ boundaries and an internal energy, which preserves the consistent shape of the mesh. A frequent problem is that the images do not contain sufficient reliable image feature information, such as image gradients, to attract the mesh. According to the present invention, manually drawn attractors in the form of complete or partial contours corresponding to boundaries of the structure of interest are placed into the images which do not contain sufficient feature information. These attractors may easily be discriminated by a subsequent segmentation process. Due to this, advantageously, a 3D deformable model can be fitted to structures of interest in images with poor contrast, noise or image artifacts.
摘要翻译：可以通过将例如由多边形度量表示的3D可变形模型拟合到感兴趣的结构的边界来执行感兴趣的结构的描绘。可变形模型拟合过程是基于图像特征信息的最小化引导的，该图像特征信息将网格吸引到器官边界和内部能量，这保留了网格的一致形状。一个常见的问题是，图像不包含足够可靠的图像特征信息，如图像梯度，以吸引网格。根据本发明，将对应于感兴趣结构的边界的完整或部分轮廓形式的手动吸引器放置在不包含足够的特征信息的图像中。这些吸引子可以容易地被随后的分割过程区分开。因此，有利地，可以将3D可变形模型拟合到具有差的对比度，噪声或图像伪像的图像中的感兴趣的结构。

摘要： An image-guided irradiation system has a support stage, a stage-positioning assembly connected to the support stage, an x-ray source attached to a support arm in which the support arm is movable relative to the support stage, a flat-panel x-ray detector disposed proximate the support stage, and at least one of a collimator or an x-ray lens selectively disposable between the x-ray source and the support stage. The x-ray source is suitable to provide an imaging beam of X-rays at a first photon energy and is suitable to provide an irradiation beam of X-rays at a second photon energy. The collimator or x-ray lens is structured and arranged to define at least a width of the irradiation beam when it is disposed between the x-ray source and the support stage while the x-ray source is in operation.

摘要： 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.
