Abstract

In this invited paper an overview of the Computed Tomography-based cancer radiotherapy planning is given. All planning steps are described with details, i.e. its goals, existing solutions and typical realizations. On this background, as an example, a complete procedure of prostate cancer radiotherapy planning is presented in which application of Level-Set segmentation method guided by a priori atlas-type knowledge is proposed. Developed procedure was verified on data base consisting of 266 CT slices of 4 patients.
