The use of computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning.
In this treatment planning method, information from total body scans is fed into a radiation therapy treatment computer, the Artronix PC-12 system with 16K core. By providing an accurate profile of the patients's anatomy, total body computed tomography may contribute greatly to the solution of complex treatment problems involving the head and neck, thorax and abdomen.
