    摘要: A radiation therapy machine has a constrained angular freedom to produce a beam only within a gantry plane. A radiation shield may be stationary and not attached to the gantry or rotating to always block the primary beam. The constrained motion reduces the risk of patient/gantry collision and provides for extremely accurate radiation therapy planning. The therapy machine, so constrained, may include a tomographic imaging system on a single gantry. The two systems cooperate and employ many of the same hardware components to both plan and carry out therapy sessions in which irregularly shaped treatment volumes are accurately irradiated while tissue surrounding those volumes is minimally irradiated.

    摘要: A radiation therapy apparatus includes a compensator having a plurality of leaves to divide the radiation beam into rays each of which may be effectively and individually attenuated over a range of attenuations by controlling the duty cycle of the leaves position between the open and closed states. An apparatus for controlling the compensator accounts for scattering of radiation through the deconvolution of a terma map and calculates a sinogram for controlling the compensator at a variety of angles about a patient using iterated forward and back projections efficiently calculated in frequency space.
