ABSTRACT:
A human interface to be used with irradiation machine in a computed tomography machine wherein x-ray computed tomography images are individually display on a computer screen and an operator uses a manual cursor control device to trace various irradiation zones on the image, identify desired dose within each zone, verify the accuracy of the therapy treatment plan prior to an irradiation session, and verify irradiation delivered after a therapy treatment session.
