Abstract:
1. A navigation device for brachytherapy, comprising a 3D imaging facility that can be moved relative to an operating table and is adapted to obtain an intraoperative 3D image dataset for a region of a body of a patient positioned on the operating table; an applicator that radioactively irradiates the region of the body; a control facility that is linked to the imaging facility and is adapted to generate a volume model of the region of the body from the 3D image dataset and from position data of a spatial position of the applicator; and a verification facility that is adapted to determine a dose distribution of the radioactive irradiation in the region of the body during the radioactive irradiation based on the volume model and a simulation of the irradiation; and a display device that displays the dose distribution in a closed curve, wherein the position of the applicator is emulated in the volume model, and wherein the closed curve of the dose distribution displayed in the display device delimits an area that cells in the area will be killed with a predetermined probability after the radioactively irradiation by the applicator.
