摘要:
A radiotherapy apparatus controlling method according to the present invention includes controlling an imager driving unit to move an imaging unit to a position, and to image a transmission image by the imaging unit based on a radiation emitted from a first irradiating unit; and controlling the imager driving unit to move the imaging unit to a position, and to image a transmission image based on a radiation emitted from a second irradiating unit. According to such a radiotherapy apparatus controlling method, it is not necessary to separately provide an imaging unit which images the transmission image using a first radiation emitted from the first irradiating unit and an imaging unit which images a transmission image from the radiation emitted from the second irradiating unit, and a radiotherapy apparatus can be manufactured to be cheaper.

A radiotherapy apparatus control method according to the present invention includes: a step S6 of calculating rotational and first translational correction amounts based on a position and orientation of a first region represented by a radioscopic image of a subject; and a step S9 of calculating a second translational correction amount based on a position and orientation of the second region represented by the radioscopic image and the rotational correction amount; and a step S10 of driving a couch so that it rotates by the rotational correction amount and translates by the second translational correction amount. The first region is larger than the second region. According to such a method, the second region can be arranged in a predetermined position at higher accuracy compared with a case where the position of the couch is adjusted by using the position and orientation of only one of the first and second regions.

A specific site location measuring method according to the present invention, includes: calculating matching degrees based on a plurality of transmission images imaged by use of radiation transmitting through a specimen and a template set; selecting a template transmission image from the plurality of transmission images based on the matching degrees; adding a new template generated based on the template transmission image, to the template set; imaging a location measurement transmission image by use of radiation transmitting through the specimen; selecting an optimal template that is the most similar to a portion of the location measurement transmission image, from the template set by performing pattern matching of each of templates of the template set with the location measurement transmission image; and calculating a specific site location based on the location measurement transmission image and the optimal template. At this time, the transmission image of the specimen has a high probability that it is similar to any template of the thus-generated templates. Therefore, in the specific site location measuring method, the specific site can be measured with higher precision.

A radiation tomography method of the present invention includes: calculating a radiating timing, with reference to imaging timing correction data relating a plurality of gantry angles to a plurality of imaging timing correction amounts, on the basis of an imaging timing at which a radiation source supported by a rotating traveling gantry is arranged at a predetermined imaging angle and an imaging timing correction amount, of the plurality of imaging timing correction amounts, related to a gantry angle at which the traveling gantry is arranged at the imaging timing; and calculating, on the basis of an X-ray image imaged with a radiation radiated from the radiation source at the radiating timing, three-dimensional data of the X-ray image of a subject. According to the radiation tomography method, the X-ray image imaged with the further accurately arranged radiation can be obtained even in a case where the traveling gantry deflects depending on the gantry angle at which the traveling gantry is arranged, and thus the three-dimensional data can be obtained more accurately.

A radiotherapy apparatus controller includes: a portal image taking unit; a gantry position collector; a marker position calculator; and a marker position table generator. The portal image taking unit takes a first transmission image, in which a marker member positioned at a predetermined position is shown, by using therapeutic radiation and an imager. The gantry position collector collects a first gantry position at which a gantry is positioned when the first transmission image is taken from a sensor measuring a position at which the gantry is positioned, the gantry supporting the imager and a therapeutic radiation radiating device which radiates the therapeutic radiation. The marker position calculator calculates a first marker position at which the marker member is shown in the first transmission image. The marker position table generator updates a marker position table, which correlates a plurality of gantry positions with a plurality of marker positions, so that the first gantry position corresponds to the first marker position.

A radiotherapy apparatus controller includes: a movement collection section; a sensor control section configured to change a first time interval in which a second sensor measures a position of an irradiation area in the subject, based on the movement information; and an irradiation control section. The movement collection section collects movement information indicating a movement of a subject from a first sensor. The sensor control section changes a first time interval in which a second sensor measures a position of an irradiation area in the subject, based on the movement information. The irradiation control section controls a radiotherapy apparatus such that therapeutic radiation irradiated to the irradiation area is changed based on the position.
