Volume matching with application in medical treatment planning
Yam Ki Cheung, Ovidiu Daescu, Lech S. Papiez · 2011
Brachytherapy is an advanced cancer treatment method. The computation of the treatment plan is a difficult problem. One possible approach to get close to real time treatment planning is to reuse existing treatment plans. In this paper we address the problem of matching an input object (tumor) against a repository of model objects associated with known treatment plans such that the overlap volume is maximized. We refer to the matching of objects based on maximum overlap as volume matching.
