Method and Apparatus to Facilitate Development of Therapeutic Treatment Plans

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first memory having stored therein first information comprising a first multi-dimensional high-energy study of a given treatment volume for a given person;
• a second memory having stored therein second information that comprises a second multi-dimensional high-energy study of a given volume for a person that includes, but also exceeds, the given treatment volume and which second multi-dimensional high-energy study precedes in time the first multi-dimensional high-energy study;
• a control circuit operably coupled to the first memory and the second memory and being configured to combine the first information with the second information to yield resultant multi-dimensional high-energy image information for the given treatment volume that includes imaging information beyond the given treatment volume and wherein the control circuit has a display output and is configured to output information representing at least a portion of the resultant multi-dimensional high-energy image information without requiring a projection of the multi-dimensional high-energy image information into sinogram space to thereby facilitate at least one of developing and vetting a treatment plan as corresponds to the given treatment plan.
