2. BUILDING FLEXIBLE ENVIRONMENT FOR AUTOMATED TUMOR CT-MONITORING www.ramonak.bas-net.by abelotser@newman.bas-net.by diagnostics and prognosis of mediastinal and retroperitoneal tumors in children based on analysis of radiological images

3. background Malignancy in childhood is about 1% of all human tumors …BUT it is the major cause of death of children under 18 in the world (10% in Belarus) Lifestyle, changes in climate, disasters and other causes deeply affect children’s health

4. medics need assistance for reliable initial diagnostics for automated data analysis to prevent a redundant therapy Assistance mustn’t be a “closed” computer system since medics never trust computer with child’s life!

5. functional scheme ENVIRONMENT for analysis and monitoring

6. under LUA-engine with script support reconfigurable user’s interface

7. multi-windowed representation Simultaneous screening of different patients Image analysis of one patient at different stages

8. calculating characteristics more than 100 characteristics for image/objects analysis

9. full 3D representation reconstruction by computer tomography scans Representation of soft tissues, skeleton and tumor objects

10. view synchronization Synchronized screening of one patient at different stages (ex.: before and after treatment) Synchronization with topogram

11. disease monitoring CT-scans visual comparing Residual masses comparing to find a trend of behavior

12. optimal therapy and prophylaxis Planning for optimal medical invasion Timely reassessment for optimal chemotherapy Conditions monitoring after treatment

13. optimizing the workplace Flexibility in using necessary computer toolkits for computer tomography

14. Environment for automated tumor diagnostics and monitoring of mediastinal and retroperitoneal tumors in children Fast and reliable initial diagnostics of tumors of the mediastinal and retroperitoneal regions On-time reassessment of tumor’s bulk and structure in monitoring of residual masses in mediastinum and retroperitoneal space Optimal timing of kidney salvage surgery in Wilms’ tumor Optimal therapy with less treatment depending on tumor response Easy adaptation of objective methods for CT-analysis and monitoring for other medical complexes and systems
