Radiation Field Modeling and Computerized Treatment Plan

与瓦里安医疗系统公司达成的一项研究协议导致收购了他们的ECLIPSE商业治疗计划系统，并了解到将开发和集成ROB系统的组件，以改进使用具有实时体绘制的专用硬件的多模式图像配准和3D体积数据集的覆盖。ROB治疗计划系统已转变为一个研究平台，以支持将新的成像技术整合到治疗计划过程中。随着复杂的交互式融合工具的出现，三维体成像融合技术得到了迅速发展。自动聚变的开发已经开始。该程序包旨在增强医生对患者图像的审查，以进行放射计划。我们还移植到了基于福克斯·蔡斯癌症中心提供的EGS-4程序的标准蒙特卡罗剂量计算程序。这提供了使用标准方法执行复杂情况下的剂量计算的能力。

A research agreement with Varian Medical Systems has resulted in the acquisition of their ECLIPSE commercial treatment planning system with the understanding that components of the ROB system will be developed and integrated to improve on multimodality image registration and overlay of 3D volumetric data sets using specialized hardware with real-time volume rendering. The ROB treatment planning system has been transformed into a research platform to support the integration of novel imaging technologies into the treatment planning process. 3D volume imaging fusion has progressed rapidly with sophisticated interactive fusion tools. Development has started on automated fusion. This package is intended to augment physician review of patientr images for radiation planning. We have also migrated to standard Monte Carlo dose calculation code based on the EGS-4 code supplied by Fox Chase Cancer Center. This provides the capability of performing dose calculations for complex situations utilizing a standard methodology.
