ABSTRACT:
An instrument is used to mark locations in tissue that define the boundary of a three-dimensional treatment zone. The position of the instrument is recorded by a tracking system and a treatment zone image is produced which depicts the treatment zone along with patient reference points also marked by the instrument. The treatment zone image is exported to a radiation treatment system which uses the patient reference points to align the treatment zone image with the patient and uses the treatment zone image to aim the radiation.
