    Abstract: A radiation dosimeter system and method for estimating a deposited radiation dose to an object involves locating at least one radiation dosimeter at the object. The radiation dosimeter includes a radiation sensitive medium having an optical property that changes due to the deposited radiation dose. An optical interrogation signal is provided to the radiation dosimeter via an enclosed optical path for interacting with the radiation sensitive medium. During irradiation, the optical interrogation signal is transformed into an optical information signal that encodes an ionizing radiation induced change in the optical property of the radiation sensitive medium. The radiation dosimeter system then processes the optical information signal for estimating the deposited radiation dose.

    Abstract: When modeling anatomical structures in a patient for diagnosis or therapeutic planning, an atlas (26) of predesigned anatomical structure models can be accessed, and model of one or more such structures can be selected and overlaid on an a 3D image of corresponding structure(s) in a clinic image of a patient. A user can click and drag a cursor on the model to deform the model to align with the clinical image. Additionally, a processor (16) can generate a volumetric deformation function using splines, parametric techniques, or the like, and can deform the model to fit the image in real time, in response to user manipulation of the model.

    Abstract: Artifacts in the reconstructed volume data of cone beam CT systems can be removed by the application of respiration correlation techniques to the acquired projection images. To achieve this, the phase of the patients breathing is monitored while acquiring projection images continuously. On completion of the acquisition, projection images that have comparable breathing phases can be selected from the complete set, and these are used to reconstruct the volume data using similar techniques to those of conventional CT. Any phase can be selected and therefore the effect of breathing can be studied. It is also possible to use a feature in the projection images such as the patient's diaphragm to determine the breathing phase. This feature in the projection images can be used to control delivery of therapeutic radiation dependent on the patient's breathing cycle, to ensure that the tumor is in the correct position when the radiation is delivered.
