Development of a system for virtual simulation and treatment planning in radiation oncology. Advanced digital image processing techniques have been applied to CT images. Additionally, tools for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of organs or selected regions of interest have been implemented. The system incorporates a database where patient data and relevant information can be stored and retrieved. The access in the database is permitted only to authorized users. The user-friendly interface makes the software handy and accessible to clinicians, while telematic components allow tele-collaboration with other clinics.
