Three features of a fully 3-dimensional [cancer] treatment planning program are presented. The beam''s-eye-view provides the user with an accurate reproduction of anatomic features from the viewpoint of a treatment source. The source can be moved to any feasible position relative to the patient, permitting a choice which allows sensitive organs to be excluded from the beam. In this view a field defining aperture can readily be designed. Back-projection of such an aperture shows the parts of the original transverse CT [computed tomography] sections, or reconstructed sagittal or coronal sections, which may be covered by the selected beam. Projection through the CT data from any desired origin provides an alignment film simulation which can be used to confirm accuracy of treatment, as well as help establish anatomic relationships relative to the margins of a treatment field.
