Abstract: A method for removing ghost markers from a measured set of medical markers, wherein the measured set of markers represents the positions of real markers and the positions of ghost markers, comprising the steps of: —calculating all possible minimal marker sets, wherein a minimal marker set is a subset of the measured set and a minimal marker set consists of the smallest possible number of markers which would cause the measured set to be measured; —calculating the smallest extent of each minimal marker set, wherein the smallest extent is the smallest extent among the extents in three orthogonal directions; and —selecting the minimal marker set having the smallest out of the smallest extents as a marker set without ghost markers.

Abstract: The presently described method is directed to determining a way of positioning a patient before execution of a medical procedure involving irradiating the patient with ionizing treatment radiation based on comparing medical images of the patient with a pre-acquired medical image. The planning computed tomography is searched for an image of the reference structure in order to determine the position of the patient relative to a patient support device. A retroreflective marker device, having a known and advantageously fixed position relative to the base plate, is detected by a navigation system operatively coupled to a motor of the support device. Based on the detected position of the marker device, the motor of the support device is activated to drive the patient into a desired position relative to beam direction along which the treatment radiation is to be issued towards the patient to execute the medical procedure.

Abstract: A medical data processing method of determining a transformation for determining a breathing state-dependent geometry of an anatomical body part of a patient's body, the method comprising: a) acquiring planning image data describing a set of tomographic medical planning images describing each a different part of the anatomical body part in the same respiratory state called reference planning respiratory state, wherein the anatomical body part is subject to respiratory movement and wherein the planning images comprise a planning image called reference planning image describing a part of the anatomical body part which is called reference planning body part; b) acquiring breathing image data describing a set of tomographic medical breathing images of the anatomical body part, wherein the breathing images comprise a reference breathing image describing the reference planning body part in a respiratory state called reference breathing respiratory state, which is different from the reference planning respiratory state, and a target breathing image describing at least another part of the anatomical body part, wherein the other part of the anatomical body part is called target body part, in a respiratory state called target respiratory state which is different from the reference planning respiratory state; c) determining, based on the planning image data and the breathing image data, reference transformation data describing a transformation, called reference transformation, between the geometry of the reference planning body part in the reference planning respiratory state and the geometry of the reference planning body part in the reference breathing respiratory state; d) acquiring scaling factor data describing a scaling factor which describes a relationship between the geometry of the reference planning body part in the reference breathing respiratory state and the geometry of the target body part in the target respiratory state; e) determining, based on the reference transformation and the scaling factor data, derived transformation data describing a transformation called derived transformation between the geometry of the target body part in the reference planning respiratory state, and the geometry of the target body part in the reference breathing respiratory state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a deviation of the position of an anatomical body part relative to a predetermined position defined by a radiation treatment plan. A monitoring image is taken of the anatomical body part at the instant that a predetermined control point defined in the treatment plan has been reached. The monitoring image is compared to a simulated image simulated from a planning image of the anatomical body from the perspective of a monitoring camera used to generate the monitoring image. The comparison allows for a determination of whether there is a positional deviation.
