Radiation beam imaging during delivery using computer software
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11861845B2) discloses a computer program product and system designed to enhance radiation therapy quality assurance. The product includes a non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a programmable processor, enable the acquisition of images during radiation beam delivery. These images capture a radiation pattern shape generated by a radiation delivery system, with operations including screen capture of the shape displayed on a computer monitor. The product further involves determining dimensions of the radiation pattern, collimator positions, conversion between images and the pattern, and utilizing markers for conversion information.
Moreover, the system described in the patent comprises at least one programmable processor and a machine-readable medium storing instructions for acquiring images during radiation beam delivery. Similar to the computer program product, the system's operations involve determining dimensions of the radiation pattern, collimator positions, and conversion between images and the pattern. Additionally, the system controls the radiation delivery system to project a known dimension radiation pattern onto a detector, determining a conversion factor using pixel dimensions in the images. Both the computer program product and system aim to improve radiation therapy quality assurance by accurately calculating fluence maps, dose at target locations, and establishing a relationship between image intensity and delivered dose, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and precision of radiation therapy procedures.
