A method and apparatus for three-dimensional imaging and treatment of a patient's body. The method and apparatus utilize a system for developing a therapy plan for treatment of an organ of the patient, a device for generating ultrasound image data from a treatment region and a device for providing a translucent volume image of a portion of a patient's body and a separate translucent image of the patient organ and a three dimensional viewing device to superimpose a translucent article image to enable viewing of the article image simultaneously with the patient organ and a portion of the patient's body.

A method and apparatus for localizing and treating a patient's prostate by radiation therapy. The system includes an ultrasound probe for generating an ultrasound image of the prostate with the probe having at least two fiducial end points as landmarks. In addition, the system includes a CT apparatus to generate X-ray simulator images of the anatomical region near the prostate and further includes a computer executing computer software to transform the ultrasound image to the simulator image enabling accurate localization of the prostate relative to proximate anatomical features enabling accurate radiation therapy to be carried out on the prostate.
