    摘要: We have found a superior method for dealing with the effects of inertia in a radiotherapy apparatus. We propose to cater for inertia in advance by incorporating inertia factors into an output from a delivery control system which adapts the treatment plan by incorporating the inertia factors, or by including the inertia factors as a constraint in the treatment planning process. Therefore, instead of instructing the machine to make movements which assume perfect inertia-less behaviour by the geometry item and then compensating for this afterwards, the instructions delivered to the geometry items will reflect their inertia behaviour and can therefore be followed very closely. This, in turn, means that a departure from that plan will be correspondingly more likely to indicate an error by the geometry item. It will no longer be routine for errors to arise when a geometry item needs to accelerate or decelerate and thus the error-checking regime need not make allowances for such departures from the intended path. That, in turn, means that the error tolerances can be correspondingly tighter. Those tighter tolerances mean that the error-checking can safely be carried out locally for each component.

    摘要: A method for the measurement of dose distribution in radiotherapy apparatus comprising an apparatus for generating a beam of therapeutic radiation and an imaging apparatus, one or both apparatuses being mounted to a rotatable gantry adapted in use to rotate around a bore of the radiotherapy apparatus and around an isocentre therein, the method comprising: placing a detector holder within a tank, the detector holder comprising a radio-opaque marker and a visual reference point, the marker and the reference point being separated and in a fixed spatial relationship to each other, and the tank in use containing a liquid having a surface level uppermost; locating the tank within the bore such that the detector holder is in the vicinity of the isocentre; rotating the gantry and monitoring the position of the detector holder using the imaging apparatus to determine the position of the marker relative to the isocentre; displacing the detector holder vertically such that the reference point is positioned at a point level with a desired surface level of the liquid, and adding liquid to or removing liquid from the tank until the surface of the liquid is at the same level as the reference point. Features of the detector holder and tank are also described.

    摘要: A method of imaging a patient, in an apparatus comprising a patient support on which the patient may be positioned, and a rotatable gantry supporting a source of imaging radiation for generating a radiation beam towards the patient, and a detector for detecting the radiation beam after interaction with the patient, the detector operating in a cyclical pattern of an exposure phase followed by a readout phase. The method comprises, for a first detector cycle in which the gantry has a first angle of rotation, controlling the source of radiation to emit a first radiation beam pulse during the exposure phase, and reading out respective first imaging data during the readout phase. The method further comprises, for a second, subsequent detector cycle, determining if the gantry has rotated through at least a threshold angular displacement relative to said first angle of rotation, if so, controlling the source of radiation to emit a second radiation beam pulse during the exposure phase, and reading out respective second imaging data during the readout phase.
