Abstract

A system for processing image data from computed tomography scans has: a first detection device capable of being activated prior to an antitumor treatment on a patient and configured to perform a standard computed tomography scan on the patient to obtain first image data; a second detection device capable of being activated intraoperatively at the end of the patient's antitumor treatment and configured to perform a cone-beam computed tomography scan to obtain second image data; a processing unit, in data communication with the first device and the second device and configured to process the first image data and the second image data, thereby providing a graphic comparison between a tumor mass prior to the antitumor treatment and a necrotic area after the antitumor treatment. A corresponding method for processing image data from computed tomography scans is also described.
