Defining planning target volume in radiotherapy for glioblastoma multiform by using artificial neural network

The objective of the project is to create a neural network that generalizes a doctor's knowledge and predicts the planning target volume in radiotherapy from the 3-dimensional image of a detected tumor. The idea and the first results of predicting the planning target volume by means of an artificial neural network are illustrated.
