[Utilization of CT image data for preparation of thermoradiotherapy].
Medical imaging procedures are providing qualitative and, increasingly, quantitative diagnostic information on the morphology and function of the human organism. As possibilities for communication and data processing continue to grow, they are also being applied in the field of therapy. Taking combined local radiotherapy and thermotherapy for the treatment of uterine carcinoma as an example, this paper describes the integration of the biological-pathological situation into the modelling of isothermal profiles using the patient's image data.
