Abstract
A radiation treatment planning system utilizes a standard interface circuit to continuously digitize and display image data generated by an anatomical imaging device, such as an ultrasound unit. The acquired image data includes positional information of one or more radiation delivery devices relative to an anatomical area to be treated. The acquired data is processed to rapidly determine a radiation dose plan, which is displayed in real time as a superimposed image over the image of the anatomical area being treated.
