摘要:
The present invention relates to a fast and accurate method for calculating fluence of a calculation plane (210) over a patient. According to an embodiment of the present invention, only a subset (560, 562) of the collimator leaves (104) are analyzed for the fluence calculation, thus reducing the number of calculations required. Additionally, pre-integrated values of scatter strips (520), associated with each point of the calculation plane (210), may be referenced in a lookup table (1010). The use of these pre-integrated values allows the avoidance of adding the fluence contribution of each square on the scattering plane (202). Rather, pre-calculated values of a subset (560, 562) of the scattering plane (202) (scatter strip (520)) may be referenced and combined, thus reducing the number of calculations required for a final scatter contribution to a point (500, 500a, 500b, 500c) on the calculation plane (210). Further, the thickness of the collimator leaves (104) is considered in the fluence calculation, thus providing a more accurate model for the scatter contributions of points on the scattering plane (202).
摘要:
In a radiation emitting device, particularly in a radiation treatment device (2), the actual radiation delivered to an object (13) via a radiation beam (1) is adjusted to match the field to be irradiated on object (13). Jaws (250, 252, 254, 256) are arranged between a radiation source and an object (13) to provide an opening (110). The field is divided up into sections, and wedge corrections and/or monotonic functions are calculated for each of the sections. The wedge corrections and/or monotonic functions are used to deliver radiation to each of the sections in the field. Jaws (250, 252, 254, 256) and the radiation dose are controlled during the treatment of each of the sections.
摘要:
In a radiation emitting device, particularly in a radiation treatment device (2), the radiation treatment for an object (13) via a radiation beam (1) is determined. The field on the object to be irradiated is inputted and then divided up into sections (220-230). Plates or a collimator are arranged between a radiation source and an object (13) to provide an opening over one of sections (220). A radiation beam (1) is generated and used to treat one of sections (220) with radiation. This is repeated until each of sections (220-230) are treated with radiation.
