报告摘要：

Recent advances in imaging technology and the integration of these imaging technologies into the radiotherapy workflow have resulted in increased accuracy in both target and normal tissue identification, as well as greater precision in radiation dose delivery. In order to leverage the image information, effective image processing technologies are needed to extract, combine and quantify the information into an efficient radiotherapy workflow. In this talk, some image processing technologies and their applications in image-guided cancer radiotherapy will be presented.
