Abstract

A software platform integrated of radiation treatment planning system and navigation system has been developed for a newly-developed snake robot. This platform is developed in a module-plugin form based on 3D Slicer medical image visualization and analysis application platform and an open-source toolkit SlicerRT. The platform realized function modules of image access and visualization, image segmentation, radiation path planning, treatment planning evaluation and optical navigation, and has provided the snake robot an extensible software experiment platform. It is beneficial for the brachytherapy research work and experiments.
