Official Title: 3D Surface Scanning for Virtual-CT Based Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates if three dimensional (3D) surface images can be used instead of the standard computed tomography (CT) scans for treatment planning in electron radiation therapy.3D scanning has previously been used by several groups to design patient-specific devices to be 3D printed, and as has shown excellent agreement with CT obtained surfaces.Using 3D surface imaging instead of x-ray based CT, benefits include: no ionizing radiation used to produce images, shorter time between patient consultation and…
