    摘要: In radiotherapy, a high quality imaging array may be placed after the patient and opposite the radiation source to be used during radiation treatment to verify operation of a shutter system or similar device and/or to compute dose delivered to the patient. A model of the patient may be used and inverted in order to estimate values of energy fluence prior to absorption by the patient and overlapping of the various radiation beams passing through the patient. A test pattern of shutter excitation to illuminate a single ray at a time provides a simple method of obtaining the necessary model. The dose from this test pattern may be subtracted from the subsequent radiation treatment so as to provide limited or no increase in total dose to the patient.

    摘要: A system and method of evaluating dose delivered by a radiation therapy system using a marker that indicates motion. The marker is associated with the patient. In one method of operation, the method includes delivering radiation to the patient, monitoring motion of the marker during the delivering radiation, and evaluating a dose delivered to the patient based at least in part on the motion of the marker. In another method of operation, the method includes delivering radiation to the patient, obtaining information relating to the delivery of radiation, estimating dose to the marker based at least in part on the information, acquiring dose received by the marker, and comparing the received dose with the estimated dose.
