See full text

A system for assisting a user in preparing a brachytherapy pre-operative plan and post-operative evaluation for prostate cancer is disclosed. Image scans are loaded into the system. A user places a matrix on the image scans and outlines the contours the anatomical structures in the image scans. The user then places seeds on the various image scans in a well known manner to treat the prostate cancer. The system provides for real-time isodose calculations as the user edits the pre-operative plan. The user may also view a three-dimensional view of the isodose levels on the anatomical structure, as well as the surface of a given isodose level.
