Abstract
The use of images of a patient´s internal anatomy as the basis for the design and optimization of radiation treatment plans, the precise identification of the target disease volume and normal surrounding organs, the importance of verifying the delivery of presented therapy, and the visualization and correlation of computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging volumes to facilitate treatment are discussed
