Radiation field shape detection using video stream analysis
The granted patent US12011616B2 outlines a computer program product designed to enhance the monitoring and analysis of radiation delivery systems used in medical applications. The core functionality involves receiving a video stream and extracting images that represent the radiation pattern generated by a radiation source. The program can utilize digital video signals from monitors associated with radiation detectors or directly from the detectors themselves, converting these signals into a usable video stream. Additionally, the system can generate recorded video streams from the received video, allowing for further analysis of the radiation patterns over time.
Further claims detail advanced functionalities, including the application of edge detection algorithms to identify the positions of multi-leaf collimators, which are critical for ensuring accurate radiation delivery. The system can compare actual leaf positions with planned positions to facilitate quality assurance in radiation therapy. Moreover, it can calculate fluence maps and determine the three-dimensional dose delivered to a target location based on the acquired data. The patent emphasizes the importance of analyzing video streams to identify patient movement, which is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of radiation therapy procedures. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving the precision and safety of radiation delivery in medical settings.
