Elementary Design and Implementation of Liver Treatment Planning System

[Objective] To implement a computer aided system for liver hyperthermia treatment planning. [Methods] VC++ 6.0 and MITK(Medical Imaging ToolKit) were chosen as the development platform for a good efficiency in both runtime and development phases. Based on these, the system framework was designed. By Amira and ANSYS, the system could be initially implemented. [Results] The designed system can be applied for liver hyperthermia treatment planning, and was expected to guide the process of clinical operation by further improvement. [Conclusion] The system can offer scientific and reliable evidences for hyperthermia treatment planning, and it can make hyperthermia treatment parameters quantificational and treatment process settled. All of these can reduce the dependent degree to clinical experience for doctors.
