摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure may be directed to a system for generating a motion target volume representative of shape changes of a target region in a patient. The system may comprise at least one computer system configured to receive a plurality of electronic medical images that include the target region, and each of the plurality of images may have been taken at a different time point. The computer system may be configured to define a three-dimensional volume containing the target region in each of the plurality of images, and the three-dimensional volume may be different in at least two of the plurality of images due to differences in shape of the target region in the at least two images. The computer system may also be configured to co-register the three-dimensional volumes and generate the motion target volume, wherein the motion target volume encompasses each of the three-dimensional volumes.

摘要: A method and apparatus for manipulation of a respiratory model via adjustment of parameters associated with model images is described. A subset of the images that are used with the model that is associated with the position and motion of a targeted region of the patient to receive radiation treatment may be identified. The subset of images may be sorted. A graphical user interface (GUI) that identifies two or more of the images of the sorted subset may be provided. A selection associated with one of the images of the sorted subset may be received by the GUI. Furthermore, a new model to identify the targeted region based on the selection that is associated with one of the two or more images may be generated.

摘要: An adaptive therapy delivery system can receive imaging information including a volumetric image comprising a target such as a tumor or one or more other structures, and can receive imaging information corresponding to one or more imaging slices comprising different portions of the target, such as imaging slices acquired at different times after acquisition of the volumetric image. The system can spatially register information from an earlier-acquired image with a portion of the target included in a later-acquired one of the imaging slices. The system can then determine an updated location of the target indicated by the spatially-registered information. Using the updated location, the system can generate an updated therapy protocol to control delivery of a therapy beam.

摘要: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for slowing positively charged particles, comprising the steps of: (1) transporting the positively charged particles from an accelerator, along a beam transport line, and into a nozzle system; (2) placing a first liquid in a first chamber in a beam path of the positively charged particles; (3) placing a second liquid in a second chamber in the beam path of the positively charged particles; (4) moving the first and second chamber with the nozzle system; (5) slowing the positively charged particles using the first liquid and the second liquid; (6) moving the first chamber in a first direction to yield a longer first pathlength of the positively charged particles through the first chamber; and (7) moving the second chamber opposite the first direction to yield a longer second pathlength of the positively charged particles through the second chamber.

摘要: The present invention discloses a homologous dual-energy accelerator and a therapy device comprising the homologous accelerator. The homologous dual-energy accelerator comprises an electron emitting device and an accelerating device, wherein the electron emitting device is located at the input end of the accelerating device, and electrons generated by the electron emitting device are emitted from the output end of the accelerating device after being accelerated by the accelerating device; the homologous dual-energy accelerator further comprises at least one separation deflection device which is arranged on the output end side of the accelerating device and used for changing the motion trail of partial electrons among the electrons accelerated by the accelerating device. The homologous dual-energy accelerator has the advantages that the inventor discovers that the speeds and energy of all electrons are not completely same after the electrons are accelerated by the accelerating device; the inventor uses the separation deflection device arranged on the output end side of the accelerating device through the discovery, the motion trail of partial electrons having relatively low energy level among the particles accelerated by the accelerating device is forcibly changed, the electrons having different energy levels in a homologous electron beam are separated, and two energy levels of electron beams are thus obtained, wherein the high-energy electron beam continues an original path and is used for radiotherapy, and the other path of low-energy electron beam is used for tracking lesions and detecting the therapeutic effect.

摘要: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for imaging and/or treating a tumor of a patient using multiple ion types, such as a cations with one, two, or more mass-to-charge ratios and/or electrons, where the multiple ion types are accelerated, at separate times, using a single accelerator, and the multiple ion types are used to treat different depths into a tumor of a patient, where the patient is optionally maintained in a single treatment position relative to a patient positioning system during treatment.

摘要: A scintillation material is longitudinally packaged in a circumferentially surrounding sheath, where the sheath has a lower index of refraction than the scintillation material, to form a scintillation optic or scintillation fiber optic. The scintillation material yields secondary photons upon passage of a charged particle beam, such as a positively charged residual particle beam having transmitted through a sample. The internally generated secondary photons within the sheath are guided to a detector element by the difference in index of refraction. Multiple scintillation optics are assembled to form a two-dimensional scintillation array coupled to a two-dimensional detector array, such as for use in determination of state of the residual charged particle beam, determination of an exit point of the particle beam from the sample, path of the treatment beam, and/or tomographic imaging.
