Embodiment Construction

[0028] For example, radiation therapy is a widely used procedure in cancer treatment or more generally in medical treatment. Radiation therapy aims to kill tumor cells in a patient's body without damaging surrounding tissue by delivering higher radiation doses to the tumor and possibly lower doses to healthy organ tissue. In the following, the part of the patient's body that receives radiation is described as an "object of interest". For example, during the treatment of a tumor in the abdomen, the object of interest may have certain movements caused by the patient's breathing. By calculating the displacement caused by this movement, the displacement information is sent to a control module of the radiation therapy equipment used for the treatment. The control module uses this displacement information to compensate the displacement of the object of interest of the patient's body in order to make the radiation beam follow the object of interest even though the object of interest...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of calculating a displacement of an object of interest comprising a step of calculating (101) a displacement model of said object of interest from adjacent images of a set of pre-acquired images of said object of interest, said displacement model reflects the position of said object of interest along the time. The method is characterized in that the method further comprises the following. A step of determining (102) a first sub-set of images (S1) from said set of pre-acquired images within one periodical time cycle of said set of pre-acquired images on the basis of the displacement model. A first step of identifying (103) a second sub-set of images (S2) from newly-acquired images, wherein images in said second sub-set of images (S2) are consecutive and have the same most similar image in said first sub-set of images (S1), wherein a first set of similarity levels is determined by comparing a given image in said newly acquired images with each image of said first sub-set of images (S1), and wherein said most similar image has the largest similarity level in said first set of similarity levels. A first step of selecting (104) a given image in said second sub-set of images (S2) as a first reference image (I1). A second step of identifying (105) a third sub-set of images (S3) from said newly-acquired images, wherein images in said third sub-set of images (S3) are consecutive and have the same most similar image in said first sub-set of images (S1), wherein a set of similarity levels is determined by comparing a given image in said newly acquired images with each image of said first sub-set of images (S1), and wherein said most similar image has the largest similarity level in said set of similarity levels. A second step of selecting (106) a given image in said third sub-set of images (S3) as a second reference image (I2). A step of calculating (107) the displacement between said second reference image (I2) and said first reference image (I1). The invention also relates to a corresponding system of displacement calculation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of object movement measurement and in particular to a method for computing the displacement of an object of interest. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy is widely used in cancer management or therapy. The purpose of radiation therapy is to kill pathological structures occurring in an object of interest in a patient's body, for example, tumor cells, without damaging the surrounding tissue of the object of interest. This is accomplished by delivering higher radiation doses to the subject of interest in the patient's body, and possibly lower radiation doses to healthy organ tissue surrounding the subject of interest. However, the breathing motion of the patient's body during the entire procedure can create inaccuracies as to where the radiation is being applied. In fact, the position of the object of interest of the patient's body may change with breathing motion, and even the size and shape of the...
