It allows the user to understand the complex effects of electromagnetic wave propagation and heat transport inside a patient's body. Optimized power amplitudes and phase settings can be calculated for the BSD radiowave applicators Sigma 60 and Sigma 2000 (eye-applicator). HyperPlan is built on top of the modular, object-oriented visualization system Amira. This system already contains powerful algorithms for image processing, geometric modelling and 3D graphics display. HyperPlan provides a number of hyperthermia-specific modules, allowing the user to create 3D tetrahedral patient models suitable for treatment planning. In addition, all numerical simulation modules required for hyperthermia simulation are part of HyperPlan. This guide provides a step-by-step introduction to hyperthermia planning using HyperPlan. It also describes the usage of the underlying visualization system Amira. 00-27 596 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-5957 Detlev Stalling Martin Seebass Malte Zöckler Hans-Christian Hege 00-27 eng uncontrolled image segmentation eng uncontrolled grid generation eng uncontrolled visualization eng uncontrolled therapy planning Informatik, Informationswissenschaft, allgemeine Werke LIFE AND MEDICAL SCIENCES Applications Segmentation Applications Applications ZIB Allgemein Hege, Hans-Christian https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-zib/files/595/ZR-00-27.ps https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-zib/files/595/ZR-00-27.pdf
