Abstract:
We present a fast, interactive local rigid registration application to localize tumour’s position for radiotherapy. The aim of the application is to automatically localize in a therapy CT dataset the target volume marked in a plan CT before applying a therapy. The algorithm is fast because it restricts the registration to a small area of the whole dataset. Once the target is found, the application returns the target’s coordinates and its displacement from the plan position in order to consequently adjust the treatment parameters. Because the program finds quickly (about 20 seconds) the new tumour’s position, it is a suitable interactive tool in the radiotherapy praxis.
