Research progress of virtual image simulation system in radiotherapy-related applications / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

As the development of radiotherapy, the plan making that depends on CT image information and staff skills limits its further development. Whereas virtual reality (VR) based on computer technology is a simulation system for human-machine interaction in 3D environment. VR can provide 3D information on the radiotherapy environment, patient anatomy, isodose distribution, etc. VR has been used to guide patient positioning, automatic collision detection of non-coplanar treatment plans, holographic imaging system to optimize radiotherapy plans, teaching and training, and patient publicity and education. The purpose is to improve the quality of radiotherapy on a safe and effective basis, and provide practical tools for radiotherapy technical training, teaching and publicity education.
