Abstract
In radiotherapy, the use of cross sectional imaging for planning the treatment planes has the advantage of combining precise anatomical details (tumor volume, critical organs) with the differences in tissue density necessary for dose calculations. A diagnostically targeted CT is used to choose the number and position of sections necessary for calculating the distributions of the dose.
