Embodiment Construction

[0012] The present inventors have advantageously recognized the need for an electronic system that processes and aggregates patient external radiation dose and implanted radiation dose information to provide data to determine the cumulative radiation dose applied to the patient's anatomical region. Figure 1 shows the functionality of a healthcare plan including a radiographic data processing and treatment planning system. The radiation data processing and treatment planning system provides processed radiation data in the form of user-friendly display images. The system can also provide processed radiographic data in the form of a unified treatment record, stored as an electronic patient record or other electronic system that can be easily used by clinicians to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care delivery. For example, in treating a cancer patient, the patient is gradually treated with various modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Patient...

Abstract

A system for recording and archiving radiation from external beam radiation therapy and implanted sources applied to anatomical regions within a comprehensive unified record of radiation therapy that also archives detected radiation from radiation sources inside the patient, measured externally to the patient emission level. A system processes data related to patient radiation therapy. The system includes an input processor for receiving data identifying a first radiation dose received by a patient-specific anatomical site from a radiation source outside the patient and a second radiation dose received by the patient-specific anatomical site from a radiation source inside the patient. radiation dose. A data processor combines data representing the first and second doses to provide a combined dose value. A storage processor that stores the combined value in a record associated with the patient.

Description

[0001] This application is a non-provisional application Serial No. 60 / 491,211 filed July 30, 2003 by L.A. Fitzgerald et al. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a system for processing radiation therapy data from a plurality of different radiation sources. Background technique [0003] Existing treatment planning systems are used to determine the distribution of radiation doses that occur inside a patient as a result of radiation beam therapy outside the patient's body or from implanted radiation sources (brachytherapy). These existing systems include electronic systems that archive the radiation therapy received by the patient from external beam radiation therapy and provide means for displaying daily doses administered and cumulative doses. Existing treatment planning systems are also used for forming brachytherapy plans as a document in addition to patient treatment records. Radiation oncologists often place a treatment requirement on recording the radiatio...
