ABSTRACT
In this invited paper an overview of the Computed Tomography-based cancer radiotherapy planning is given. All planning steps are described with details, i.e. its goals, existing solutions and typical realizations. On this background, as an example, a complete procedure of prostate cancer radiotherapy planning is presented in which application of Level-Set segmentation method guided by a priori atlas-type knowledge is proposed. Developed procedure was verified on data base consisting of 266 CT slices of 4 patients.

A PET/CT directed, 3D ultrasound-guided biopsy system for prostate cancer
MICCAI'11: Proceedings of the 2011 international conference on Prostate cancer imaging: image analysis and image-guided interventionsProstate cancer affects 1 in 6 men in the USA. Systematic transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy is the standard method for a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, this "blind" biopsy approach can miss at least 20% of prostate cancers. ...
