| Abstract | In radiotherapy treatment planning of cancer patients, the collection of multiple images of different and yet complementary information is rapidly becoming the norm. Beside CT data sets, PET and/or MRI or MRS images are also being used to aid in the definition of the target volume for treatment optimization. We are investigating methods to integrate available information for joint target registration and segmentation of multi-modality images as perceived by the human observer. Towards this goal, we are exploring multi-valued level set deformable models in conjunction with human perception models for simultaneous delineation of multi-modality images consisting of combinations of PET, CT, or MR datasets. Information from multimodality image sets is integrated based on a logical model to define the final target volume. The methods were demonstrated qualitatively on patient cases of lung cancer with PET/CT and a prostate patient case with CT and MR. We used a series of phantom data of CT, PET, and MR for quantification analysis. Phantom studies suggest 90% segmentation accuracy and less than 2% volume error when integrating all of the three modalities. This is compared with 74% accuracy and 4.4% volume error when using CT-based systems. These results indicate that this semi-automated multimodality-based definition of the biophysical target would provide a feasible and accurate framework for integrating complementary imaging information from different modalities and potentially a useful tool for optimizing of cancer patients radiotherapy plans. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
