    摘要: A treatment planning system (106) for generating patient-specific treatment margins. The system (106) includes one or more processors (142). The processors (142) are programmed to receive a radiation treatment plan (RTP) for irradiating a target (122) over the course of one or more treatment fractions. The RTP including one or more treatment margins around the target (122) and a planned dose distribution for the target (122). The processors (142) are further programmed to receive motion data for at least one of the treatment fractions of the RTP from one or more target surrogates (124), calculate a motion-compensated dose distribution for the target (122) using the motion data and the planned dose distribution, compare the motion-compensated dose distribution to the planned dose distribution, and adjust the treatment margins based on dosimetric differences between the motion-compensated dose distribution and the planned dose distribution.

    摘要: Real-time monitoring of tissue ablation is possible by using a vibrating ablation needle coupling lateral shear waves to the tissue. Ultrasonic imaging may characterize the velocity of these shear waves to reveal Young's modulus of the tissue and, at a discontinuity in Young's modulus, a boundary of the ablated lesion reflecting an underlying increase in stiffness of ablated tissue. This technique may be coupled with quasi-static elastography-based ablation monitoring techniques for improved measurement.

    摘要: A therapy system (10) includes one or more processors (98, 100). The processors (98, 100) are programmed to receive one or more of: (1) dosimetric data from dosimeters (26, 28, 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212) implanted within a patient and/or positioned on a vest (200); and (2) motion data from surrogates (18, 20, 22, 24) implanted within the patient. Based on the motion data, a current location and/or shape of a surrogate (18, 20, 22, 24) is determined and deviations between the current location and/or shape and a reference location and/or shape are determined. Based on the dosimetric data, a delivered dose distribution is compared with a planned dose distribution and deviations therebetween are determined. The deviations determined from the motion data and/or the dosimetric data are employed for adaptive planning, alignment, post treatment analysis, and safety.
