Abstract
Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the major curative approaches for cancer. It is a complex and risky treatment approach, which
requires precise planning, prior to the administration of the treatment. Visual Computing (VC) is a fundamental component of
RT planning, providing solutions in all parts of the process—from imaging to delivery. Despite the significant technological
advancements of RT over the last decades, there are still many challenges to address. This survey provides an overview of
the compound planning process of RT, and of the ways that VC has supported RT in all its facets. The RT planning process
is described to enable a basic understanding in the involved data, users and workflow steps. A systematic categorization and
an extensive analysis of existing literature in the joint VC/RT research is presented, covering the entire planning process. The
survey concludes with a discussion on lessons learnt, current status, open challenges, and future directions in VC/RT research.
