Abstract:
1. A radiosurgical method for treating a patient body having a heart, the heart having a non-tumorous disease and a blood/tissue boundary surface extending along a boundary between the heart and blood disposed therein, the method comprising: acquiring three dimensional image data from the heart; generating a three dimensional blood/tissue surface model of the blood/tissue boundary surface of the heart utilizing the image data; displaying a rendering of the generated three dimensional blood/tissue surface model on a display of a user interface; receiving user input, through a user input of the user interface and with reference to the displayed rendering of the three dimensional blood/tissue surface model, of an ionizing radiation treatment lesion pattern for mitigating the disease; snapping the lesion pattern inputted with reference to the displayed rendering of the three dimensional blood/tissue surface model to the three dimensional blood/tissue surface model to provide a desired lesion pattern; and outputting information regarding a planned lesion pattern relative to the three dimensional image data based upon the desired lesion pattern; and treating the heart of the patient with the planned lesion pattern.
