NA-MIC and MGH Radiation Oncology are collaborating on a Driving Biological Project to provide tools for adaptive radiotherapy in 3D Slicer. Adaptive radiotherapy is the process of adapting a radiotherapy treatment plan to account for changes in patient anatomy. We aim to provide the engineering and algorithms needed for custom

This wiki page describes our plans and progress.

For details on the background and goals, please see the project web page.

For a more extensive wishlist, see the planning meeting notes


State of the Art: 2010

Project Goals

The overall goal of the project is to improve the capabilities for

  • Goal: Scientific evidence for or against adaptive proton-beam radiotherapy in the base of skull region
  • Require: Update literature review
  • Recommend: Study to quantify geometry of anatomic differences
  • Require: Comparison study of delivered vs. planned dose
  • Require: Comparison study of delivered vs. adaptive dose
  • Wishlist: Comparison study of IMRT vs. protons

Engineering

See: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/EngineeringRetreat2010

Image Registration

  • Goal: Multiple slicer plugins for registration
