    摘要: An example method for a radiation therapy system that includes a movable couch to perform radiation therapy has been disclosed. One method includes based on the X-ray images of an anatomical region of the patient that includes a target volume, reconstructing a digital volume of the anatomical region and based on a user input indicating a location of a patient origin in the digital volume, determining one or more shift values for repositioning the patient origin at an isocenter of the radiation therapy system with respect to a coordinate system. The method also includes obtaining a treatment plan that is based on the location of the patient origin and is associated with the target volume, based on the treatment plan, repositioning the movable couch so that the patient origin is disposed at the isocenter, and while the patient origin is disposed at the isocenter, directing a treatment beam to the patient origin in accordance with the treatment plan associated with the target volume.

    摘要: A method, controller, and system for controlling a radiation dose in radiotherapy of a patient and a computer storage medium are provided. The method includes: irradiating rays to a target area of the patient through a collimator; and keeping, after a source carrier starts to separate from the collimator in a process of controlling separation of the source carrier and the collimator, timing radiation of the rays or calculating the radiation dose of the rays such that the radiation dose of the rays received by the patient is equal to a radiation dose required for the radiotherapy. Therefore, the radiation dose of the rays received by the patient in an entire treatment process may reach the radiation dose actually required during the radiotherapy, thereby improving a radiation dose control accuracy and a treatment effect during the radiotherapy.
