Description

A new CT-linked treatment planning system, called a CT simulator has been developed. This system consists of a CT scanner, multi-image monitors, a treatment planning computer and a laser-beam field projector. With this system, the patient lying on the CT couch can be totally planned within 30 minutes from the CT scanning untill the field projection. Many CT images can be planned simultaneously and many threedimensionally reconstructed images are available in this system. The laser-beam field projector makes it possible to project any kind of the field outlines over the skin of a patient. This system enables us to make optimum use of CT information and prepare practical three-dimensional treatment planning.
