This paper describes innovative software for catheter localization and three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction in stepping source brachytherapy applications. Patient information is a set of computed tomography (CT) slices scanned during the implantation of brachytherapy catheters. Catheter geometry and patient anatomy are exported for use with dose calculation software modules. The errors produced by the system are also encouragingly low. Time saving was achieved, in terms of other traditional reconstruction techniques. Various automated procedures, 3-D graphics and a user-friendly GUI, have contributed to providing a powerful, comprehensive software tool, directly useable in the clinical practice. © 1997 IEEE. (EN)
