摘要: As a method of considering only significant radiation doses to different tissues, the ICRU Report 50 recommends taking dose given tissue volume (minimum diameter greater then 15 mm) instead choosing single, potentially insignificant, voxel value. In order find this volume, we have adapted an emission imaging analysis therapy planning. The resulting finds and characterizes distribution in volumes interest way that includes spatial arrangement. data can be used signal hot or cold plan score plans based on tissues.
