Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for MR based volumetric frameless 3-D interactive localization, virtual simulation, and dosimetric radiation therapy planning. Using an MR imaging device, a patient is scanned to generate a magnetic resonance image volume data set. Using the MR data set exclusively, parallel and divergent volume images of the patient is displayed for target tissue identification, localization, virtual simulation, and dosimetric radiation therapy planning. Preferably, the interactive localization, simulation, and dosimetric RTP is based exclusively on the 3-dimensional MR volume data set rendered in the form of at least one of a multi-planar reformatted image (MPR), an oblique multi-planar reformatted image (OMPR), a digitally reconstructed “radiograph” (DRR), and a digitally composited “radiograph” (DCR).
