    摘要: The present invention provides a radiation detector (30, 100) which comprises a tube (102) and detector elements (106) distributed over the tube. Such an arrangement can be used to provide information on a radiation beam prior to interaction with a patient and after interaction with the patient. The detector is particularly compact and therefore suited to use with apparatus where space is restricted. By a particular arrangement of detectors and optical fibres (104, 108), the detector can provide data at all angles of rotation.

    摘要: Radiation therapy dose calculation methods, systems and computer program products, for use with a treatment delivery device for treating a patient and utilizing a scattered radiation detector in making independent dose calculations. The scattered radiation detector is configured to acquire measurement information during patient treatment, which is used to determine an estimate of the output of the treatment delivery device. Other information is acquired including patient imaging data, gantry angle information and collimator position information utilized during patient treatment. The acquired information is utilized along with the treatment delivery device output estimate to determine dose delivered to the patient.

    摘要: An output radiation treatment plan (P) for at least one target in a treatment volume is determined. Each of the at least one target is associated with a respective prescribed radiation dose. An updated treatment plan (UTP) is configured to cause the respective prescribed radiation dose to be delivered to the at least one target when implemented by a radiation therapy machine. The updated treatment plan (UTP) requires an updated delivery time (T UTP ) to complete and is calculated by executing the steps:
    [i] receiving a numerical value (ME) designating an upper bound on modulation efficiency of the updated treatment plan (UTP),
    [ii] receiving a current treatment plan (CTP),
    [iii] calculating a current delivery time (T CTP ) for the current treatment plan (CTP),
    [iv] calculating an un-modulated delivery time (T UM ) for the current treatment plan (CTP), and
    [v] calculating the updated treatment plan (UTP) by executing an optimization process while satisfying the upper bound on the modulation efficiency.
    Steps [ii] to [v] are traversed a predetermined number of times. Thereafter, the output radiation treatment plan (P) generated based on the updated treatment plan (UTP).

    摘要: A radiation treatment plan is determined for a treatment volume associated with a target and at least one organ-at-risk. For each delivery direction, a respective description is determined defining how an amount of radiant energy from a radiation source shall be distributed over a projection area, by the consecutive steps: [1] receiving a current fluence map defining a radiation dose to be delivered to the at least one target; [2] receiving a current control-point sequence describing machine settings for a collimator associated with the radiation source, the machine settings defining at least one parameter for an output beam of radiation from the radiation source; [3] determining an updated fluence map (FM') and an updated control-point sequence based on the current fluence map, the current control-point sequence and an objective function quantifying at least one quality of the radiation dose with respect to a predefined goal; [4] determining a further updated control-point sequence based on the updated control-point sequence and the updated fluence map (FM'), the further updated control-point sequence describing how, with respect to an error-minimizing function, to adjust the machine settings to approximate an amount of radiant energy defined by the updated control-point sequence and the updated fluence map (FM'), [5] determining a further updated fluence map based on the updated fluence map (FM'), the updated control-point sequence and the further updated control-point sequence; [6] checking if a stopping criterion is fulfilled; if so: stopping the process, and producing an output radiation treatment plan based on the further updated control-point sequence; and otherwise: setting the further updated fluence map, or zero, to the current fluence map; setting the further updated control-point sequence to the current control-point sequence; and returning to step [3].
