We can reconstruct all the information we need even when the patient has gone home. |
What is virtual simulation? |
|
Part of the treatment planning process is to scan a patient encompassing the treatment area. As computers have advanced in their ability to handle large amounts of data, patients are routinely scanned well above and below the treatment area. Since the patients are going to have radiation therapy, the amount of radiation from a CT scan is no longer a significant concern. By scanning large amounts of the patient, the computer can reconstruct a virtual patient. All anatomical information regarding the patient is available even after the patient has gone home. This means it’s possible to take a chest X-ray without the patient being there. |
