Further processing in a custom LabVIEW program identifies the set of edge points and determines their locations in the image in r-θ coordinates, data completely specifies the balloon shape and allows direct numerical comparison of different balloons, calculation of average shapes and standard deviations as a function of angle, The technique described provides detailed quantitative evaluation of the shape of Xoft Axxent® balloons used in APBI. treatment but especially so in uses such as intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) where CT scan data is not readily available, and the nominal balloon shape must be assumed in • Applying the shape test described here to a set of balloons provides more detailed information on the Shape graph for a single balloon inflated and deflated 5 times.
