Sagittal and coronal planes from MRI for treatment planning in tumors of brain, head and neck: MRI assisted simulation.

ABSTRACT

In 37 brain, head and neck tumors, sagittal and coronal MR-images were superimposed on lateral and AP simulator radiographs for target definition using a subtrascope. The accurate, reproducible and efficient integration of sagittal and coronal images led to individualized delineation of target and normal tissue on simulator radiographs.
