    Abstract: A photon therapy delivery system can deliver radiation therapy to a patient via a photon beam. The system can utilize a controller configured to facilitate delivery of radiation therapy via a photon beam and also a particle beam. This can include receiving radiation therapy beam information for radiation therapy treatment of a patient utilizing the particle beam and photon beam. Also, patient magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data can be received during the radiation therapy treatment. Utilizing the patient MRI data, real-time calculations of a location of dose deposition for the particle beam and for the photon beam can be determined taking into account interaction properties of soft tissues through which the particle beam passes.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer software are disclosed that allow the automatic recalling of imaging parameters from computer memory for controlling an MRI system to perform treatment-day scans of a patient on a treatment couch in a radiotherapy system, prior to treatment. The treatment-day scans can be automatically initialized and the MRI system can then be controlled to perform the treatment-day scans according to the recalled imaging parameters. Reoptimized radiation treatment plan(s) can be automatically generated and predicted doses to anatomical structures of the patient based on the plan(s) can be displayed. Clinicians can be enabled to perform numerous reoptimization tasks simultaneously through parallel workflow interfaces and then a radiation therapy device can be controlled to deliver radiation according to a selected radiation treatment plan.

    Abstract: A radiofrequency receive coil assembly can include a first conductive loop and a second conductive loop electrically connected at a node. The first and second conductive loops can extend into a treatment beam region of the radio frequency receive coil assembly through which one or more beams of ionizing radiation pass. The first conductive loop and the second conductive loop can overlap each other to provide electromagnetic isolation and/or can use a common conductor combined with a shared capacitor to provide electromagnetic isolation, with the shared capacitor or other electrical components, as well as any conductive loop overlaps, being positioned outside of the treatment beam region. These features can, among other possible advantages, minimize and homogenize attenuation of the beams of ionizing radiation by the radiofrequency receive coil assembly.

    Abstract: Gradient coil assemblies for horizontal magnetic resonance imaging systems (MRIs) and methods of their manufacture. Some embodiments may be used with open MRIs and can be used with an instrument placed in the gap of the MRI. In general, concentrations of conductors or radially oriented conductors may be moved away from the gap of the MRI so as to reduce eddy currents that may be induced in any instrument placed within the gap. Systems for directly cooling primary gradient and shield coils may be utilized and various coil supporting structures may be used to assist in coil alignment or to facilitate use of an instrument in the MRI gap.
