    摘要: A method and system for simulating and verifying a radiation therapy beam prior to treatment. The system also permits the accurate positioning of the beam with respect to the patient. The system utilizes a contour on a prescription image which defines the location and shape of a desired radiation treatment area to generate a transmissive projection which projects the exact field contour onto the patient during simulation. The patient can then be marked with this field contour prior to treatment in the simulation apparatus. With the patient placed in the treatment apparatus the accurate positioning of the patient can be achieved by aligning the patient's skin markings with a light projected through a multi-leaf collimator onto the skin. Furthermore, the correct functioning of the multi-leaf collimator can be verified in this manner since incorrect leaf positions will show up in the light projected onto the patient's skin. The transmissive projection means may comprise, in the preferred embodiment, a liquid crystal display projection device under control of a host computer storing a digitized image of the field contour.

    摘要: An upper and lower side-band generator comprised of a combination of combinational logic circuits. In a preferred embodiment the invention utilizes a substantially square wave sync output associated with carrier and modulator signal generators. A lower side-band signal is generated by synchronizing the transitions of a modulator signal with the transitions of a carrier signal, mixing the synchronized signal with the carrier signal, and filtering the resulting mixed signal. An upper side band signal is generated by synchronizing the carrier and modulator signals, delaying the resulting synchronized signal, and mixing the delayed, synchronized signal and the carrier signal.
