Abstract

A practical medical image processing subsystem is introduced. This subsystem is a part of a 3-D Radiosurgery Treatment Planning System (RTPS) for X-Knife, which was designed and developed by us. The RTPS is used for clinical radioneurosurgery. It supplies a radiosurgery treatment designing tool with a visual interactive interface for doctors. A reasonable architecture is designed by integrating different functional modules. In these functional modules, some new algorithms were developed. The new algorithms in this paper include only tracing image contour and editing image contour used for reconstruction of 3-D medical image. The other new algorithms will be published later. The system is smart, feasible and precise. The system has been used in clinical practice
