Why is it important?
Provides a solution for patient specific contour data to be embedded in the actual treatment cycle to improve procedure accuracy.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a fantastic opportunity to advise undergraduate students in CS and provide the local hospital community with a method to extract 3D (shell data) using inexpensive Kinect scanners.
