Problems solved by technology

[0017] While the existing methods described above for calibrating patient monitoring systems for use with radiation therapy equipment are highly accurate, they require the use of calibration cubes and calibration tiles, two separate components that increase not only overall component cost, but also storage costs. and shipping costs
Additionally, calibration features or markings are applied to the calibration sheet through a costly screen printing process

Embodiment Construction

[0069] Before describing the multipurpose calibration object according to the present invention, it is first combined Figure 1-3 Exemplary patient monitoring systems and radiation therapy equipment that can be calibrated using the described methods are described. Furthermore, it should be understood that the multipurpose calibration object is contemplated as a multipurpose object that may be used for calibration and / or monitoring and / or tracking of components and / or patients in treatment rooms, such as radiation therapy rooms, CT or MR scan rooms, and the like.

[0070] figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of an exemplary patient monitoring system including a camera system comprising a plurality of cameras mounted in a plurality of camera pods 10 connected by wires (not shown) to a computer 14, one of the camera pods in figure 1 shown in . The computer 14 is also connected to a treatment device 16 such as a linear accelerator for applying radiation therapy. A mechanica...

Abstract

The application discloses a multi-purpose object for a patient planning and treatment system. The a multi-purpose object comprises a first section, wherein the first section comprises a surface configured to have a plurality of transparent markings. The multi-purpose object is made of a transparent material and defines an internal space having one or more targets, wherein an upper surface is coated so as to define a pattern of transparent markings. The interior of the multi-purpose object can be back lit to present a high contrast surface image for a patient treatment, tracking or monitoring system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a calibration object for calibrating with a very high accuracy a patient monitoring system monitoring the position of a patient, eg a patient monitoring system for monitoring the positioning and position of a patient during radiotherapy. More particularly, the present invention relates to multipurpose objects that may be used in patient planning systems and patient treatment systems for monitoring and / or tracking patients. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy involves projecting beams of radiation onto predetermined areas of a patient's body to destroy or eliminate tumors present therein. Such treatments are usually performed periodically and repeatedly. In each medical intervention, in order to irradiate the selected area with the highest possible accuracy, the radiation source must be positioned relative to the patient in order to avoid adjacent tissue on which the irradiating radiation beam would be detri...
