    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.
