Why is Atlas-Based Segmentation Important in Cancer?
In cancer treatment, accurate delineation of tumors and surrounding tissues is crucial for effective radiation therapy and surgical planning. Atlas-based segmentation provides a robust and automated way to achieve precise segmentation, which is essential for: - Targeting Tumors: Ensuring radiation is precisely directed at cancerous tissues while sparing healthy tissues. - Monitoring Progress: Tracking tumor shrinkage or growth over time to evaluate treatment efficacy. - Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailoring treatment plans based on accurate anatomical information.
