Abstract

The invention provides a system and method of automatically processing data relating to a radiation therapy treatment plan. The method includes the acts of acquiring image data of a patient, generating a treatment plan for the patient based at least in part on the image data, the treatment plan including a calculated radiation dose to be delivered to the patient, acquiring an on-line image of the patient in substantially a treatment position, delivering at least a portion of the calculated radiation dose to the patient, and automatically recalculating the radiation dose received by the patient.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 701,580, filed July 22, 2005, entitled "SYSTEM ANDMETHOD FOR FEEDBACK GUIDED QUALITY ASSURANCE ANDADAPTATIONS TO RADIATION THERAPY TREATMENT," and filed October 14, 2005, entitled " Priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 726,548 for METHOD AND INTERFACE FOR ADAPTIVE RADIATION THERAPY", the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Improvements in computing and networking, radiation therapy treatment planning software, and medical imaging equipment (CT, MRI, US, and PET) have been incorporated into radiation therapy practice over the past few decades. These improvements have led to the development of image-guided radiation therapy ("IGRT"). IGRT is radiation therapy that uses cross-sectional images of a patient's internal anatomy to better target radiation doses to tumors while reducing radiation exposure to h...
