Title
MRI to CT Prostate Registration for Improved Targeting in Cancer External Beam Radiotherapy.
Abstract
External radiotherapy is a major clinical treatment for localized prostate cancer. Currently, computed tomography (CT) is used to delineate the prostate and to plan the radiotherapy treatment. However, CT images suffer from a poor soft-tissue contrast and do not allow an accurate organ delineation. On the contrary, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides rich details and high soft-tissue contras...
