    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.

    摘要: Reduced dose megavoltage CT images are obtained using low flux data resulting from leakage through modulating shutters and/or collected by other means and augmented by incomplete high flux data collected during radiation therapy. The ability to construct tomographic projection sets from significantly varying flux rate data is provided by the use of air scans windowed to account for variations in mechanical leaf movement. These methods are also provide a means of imaging the patient entirely during radiation therapy treatments without any additional scan time.

    摘要: Radiotherapy controlling, treatment sinograms may be directly modified to correct for real time motion of patients or portions of patients resulting from physiological or other activity. Precalculated partial sinograms representing treatments of portions of a patient may be assembled to obtain a treatment sinogram for the entire patient without delay from conventional planning software. The partial sinograms are modified as representations of their corresponding portions and manipulated to conform to the particular dimensions of an actual patient. This constructed sinogram may be used directly or as a starting point for iterative optimization.
