Abstract

A workstation (Fig. 2) imports medical images (Fig. 2, 50) that depict a tumor and provides tools that enable a physician (Fig. 2, 51) to see the results of prior therapies, plan future therapies, predict the outcome of future therapies and control future therapies. The workstation processes the importade images to produce isonumeric images (Fig. 2, 52) of the tumor that can be analyzed (Fig. 2, 62) and output to therapeutic systems (Fig. 2, 74).
