摘要: A method of the present disclosure includes identifying, based on a reference image, a full motion range of a target, wherein the full motion range of the target defines a full internal target volume (ITV). The method further includes identifying a non-target object in a motion image or the reference image. The method further includes performing a volumetric alignment of the ITV and the non-target object. The method further includes modifying a non-target to target displacement vector based on the volumetric alignment. The method further includes tracking the target based on the modified non-target to target displacement vector.

摘要: A radiotherapy device, a computer-implemented method and a computer-readable medium are disclosed. The radiotherapy device includes a radiation source, one or more imaging systems and a controller communicatively coupled to the radiation source and the one or more imaging systems. The radiation source is configured to apply radiation to a treatment region coinciding with a subject according to a treatment plan. The one or more imaging systems are configured to generate image data for the subject. The controller is configured to: determine, based on the image data, a relative distance between a target region of the subject and an organ at risk of the subject, wherein the treatment plan comprises a prescribed dose for the target region; determine a buffer region around the target based at least in part on the relative distance; and generate a control signal for adjusting a radiotherapy treatment in response to determining, based on the image data, that the treatment region is located at least partially outside the buffer region.

摘要: The present invention relates to the field of medical therapy of lesions detrimental to a body. The system is capable of treatment with a non-invasive, ionizing kV energy radiation source. Locally focused energy can be used to definitively treat, or as an adjuvant to enhance immune modulators, to eliminate tumors. Distributed external beam entry points produce a significant advantageous dose profile at depth as intersecting beams accumulate in a narrow focus to treat a selected volume. Targeted disease may have enhanced sensitivity to the radiation by taking up an ionizing-radiation, treatment-localizing agent. This increases the effectiveness of an energy dose in the lesion. The pattern of beam output is effectively directed towards a desired location and kV x-rays traveling towards undesired locations, such as healthy tissue, are quenched. Targeting a lesion within the body with volumetrically discrete energy dose deposition can beneficially impact harmful lesions. Aiming the beam at a pathologic target is done while moving an x-ray source mechanically around a patient to distribute surface dose. The purpose of the focused energy deposition is to destroy and disable pathologic physiology, such as malignant masses. More specifically this invention relates to a system, which optimizes delivery of ionizing kV beams to a lesion alone or one containing treatment-localizing agents in higher concentration than the surrounding normal tissues. Thereby an optimal delivery of ionizing radiation becomes more destructive to a mass of abnormal cells upon interaction with the targeted site.

摘要: A radiation treatment session is initiated to deliver a therapeutic radiation beam from a therapeutic radiation source to a target. One or more X-ray radiation sources are caused to deliver an imaging radiation beam from the one or more X-ray radiation sources through the target to one or more X-ray detectors to acquire imaging data associated with the target during therapeutic radiation beam delivery. One or more volumetric images are constructed using the acquired imaging data.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating radiotherapy treatment machine parameters based on projection images of a target anatomy. The systems and methods include operations including receiving a set of pairs of image data for each gantry angle of a radiotherapy treatment machine, wherein each pair of the set of pairs comprises a given projection image that represents a view of an anatomy of a subject from a given gantry angle and a given graphical aperture image of multi-leaf collimator (MLC) leaf positions at the given gantry angle based on the given projection image; training a generative adversarial network (GAN) model based on the set of pairs of image data for each gantry angle; and using the trained GAN model to predict an aperture image of MLC leaf positions for a desired gantry angle based on a projection image that represents a view of an anatomical region of interest.

摘要: A particle therapy apparatus configured to scan a charged particle beam over a target according to a pre-defined treatment field which covers a treatment surface in an isocenter plane of the apparatus. The apparatus is capable of scanning the beam over a reachable surface which covers and is larger than the treatment surface. A beam stopper is arranged downstream of the scanning magnets of the apparatus, at a position to prevent the beam from reaching at least a portion of the reachable surface and to allow the beam to reach any portion of the treatment surface. A control system is configured to control the apparatus to direct the beam to the beam stopper and to meanwhile measure a position of the beam, to calculate a difference between a desired position and the measured position of the beam when directed to the beam stopper, and to scan the beam over the target according to the pre-defined treatment field by taking into account the calculated difference.

摘要: A computer-implemented method of performing a treatment fraction of radiation therapy comprises: determining a current position of a target volume of patient anatomy; based on the current position of the target volume, computing an accumulated dose for non-target tissue proximate the target volume; determining that the accumulated dose is less than a current value for a dose budget of the non-target tissue; and in response to the accumulated dose being less than the current value for the dose budget, applying a treatment beam to the target volume while the target volume is in the current position.
