    Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) enables control over the delivery of radiation based on patient motion indicated by MR imaging (MRI) images captured during radiation delivery. A method for MRgRT includes: simultaneously using one or more radiation therapy heads to deliver radiation and an MRI system to perform MRI; using a processor to determine whether one or more gates are triggered based on at least a portion of MRI images captured during the delivery of radiation; and in response to determining that one or more gates are triggered based on at least a portion of the MRI images captured during the delivery of radiation, suspending the delivery of radiation.

    Abstract: A system including a diagnostic-quality CT scanner for imaging a patient, the diagnostic-quality CT scanner having an imaging isocenter and a radiation therapy device positioned adjacent the diagnostic-quality CT scanner, the radiation therapy device including a gantry carrying a radiation therapy beam source and having a radiation therapy isocenter separate from the imaging isocenter of the diagnostic-quality CT scanner. The system including a couch configured to position the patient for imaging and for radiation therapy by translating the patient between the diagnostic quality CT scanner and the radiation therapy device.

    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 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.
