Technique A (Semi-automated Software Prototype for CT 3d Rendering with the “Chebyshev Center Concept” implemented) - User Interface. The MITK user interface consists of three work columns: “data manager” in the left column, “display” in the middle column, and post-processing tools (“Segmentation” and “Lesion Tools” in this case) in the right column. Images in different formats (e.g. DICOM or JPEG) can be uploaded and scrolled in the “data manager” column. Multi-planar image planes are visualized in the “display” column. In the post-processing tool column, the treatment zone can be outlined manually by means of cursor (in the sense of a segmentation) applying “Segmentation”. Then, applying “Lesion Tools”, long, intermediate and short diameter, circularity and sphericity as well as the diameter of the largest inscribed sphere within the treatment zone and the diameter of the largest possible treatable tumor sphere at a defined safety margin (in this case 5mm) inclusive of the barycenter offset can be calculated automatically.
