Embodiment Construction
[0070]The invention relates generally to a charged particle treatment delivery control system and method of operation therefor.
[0071]In one embodiment, a treatment delivery control system (TDCS) or main controller is used to control multiple aspects of the cancer therapy system, including one or more of: an imaging system, such as a CT or PET; a positioner, such as a couch or patient interface module; an injector or injection system; a radio-frequency quadrupole system; a ring accelerator or synchrotron; an extraction system; an irradiation plan; and a display system. The TDCS is preferably a control system for automated cancer therapy once the patient is positioned. The TDCS integrates output of one or more of the below described cancer therapy system elements with inputs of one or more of the below described cancer therapy system elements. More generally, the TDCS controls or manages input and / or output of imaging, an irradiation plan, and charged particle delivery.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for control of a charged particle cancer therapy system. A treatment delivery control system is used to directly control multiple subsystems of the cancer therapy system without direct communication between selected subsystems, which enhances safety, simplifies quality assurance and quality control, and facilitates programming. For example, the treatment delivery control system directly controls one or more of: an imaging system, a positioning system, an injection system, a radio-frequency quadrupole system, a ring accelerator or synchrotron, an extraction system, a beam line, an irradiation nozzle, a gantry, a display system, a targeting system, and a verification system. Generally, the control system integrates subsystems and / or integrates output of one or more of the above described cancer therapy system elements with inputs of one or more of the above described cancer therapy system elements.
