Abstract
Recent advances in medical imaging technology have had a dramatic impact on the delivery of radiation therapy (RT). Image processing has emerged as a key component for planning, monitoring and assessment of radiation treatment. Automated image segmentation and registration methods have become valuable tools in improving the accuracy of target definition and radiation delivery. The research focus in image processing for RT is currently moving towards complex model-based approaches enabling more precise and individualized treatment. This article presents a review on common image processing methods and their application in radiation oncology.
