DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION - The Simulation Environment for Radiotherapy Applications (SERA) software program was developed for boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) patient treatment planning by researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and students and faculty at Montana State University (MSU) Computer Science Department. This is the first release through RSICC, but it is the final release of the Version 1 CO program. 4.
METHODS - SERA is a suite of command line or interactively launched software modules, including graphical, geometric reconstruction, and execution interface modules for developing BNCT treatment plans. The program allows the user to develop geometric models of the patient as derived from Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, perform dose computation for these geometric models, and display the computed doses on overlays of the original images as three-dimensional representations. A three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiation transport model, seraMC, developed at INL, is used to calculate the complex radiation fields present in BNCT treatment. 5.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM - SERA is limited to external neutron beam applications only. Dynamic or movable collimators may present special challenges. The 3D image rendering routine is limited to image sizes of 256x256 pixels. 6.
