  • Patent number: 11813483
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a neutron capture therapy system, including a neutron generator to generate neutrons after irradiation by charged particles, and a beam shaping assembly includes a moderator and a reflector surrounding the moderator. A vacuum tube connected to the accelerator is provided at an accommodating portion. The vacuum tube transmits the charged particles accelerated by the accelerator to the neutron generator to generate neutrons. The neutron generator moves between a first position and a second position, at the first position, the neutron generator react with the charged particle beam to generate neutrons, at the second position, the neutron generator falls off the beam shaping assembly.

  • Patent number: 11806479
    Abstract: A method of music therapy informed processes provides an effective online process to help a user regulate their mood through appropriate music selection choices. The method offers mood and music assessments to evaluate the user's mood, music preferences, goals, and understanding of the correlation between various moods and music. A mood sequence formula (MSF) is subsequently created to generate stylized and personalized music medicine pill (MMP) playlists. With additional recommendations of music exercise routine/regimen (MER) to the user, the method delivers therapeutic MMP playlists of the music therapy informed process with personalized music to manage physiological and behavioral responses, emotional regulation, performance and emotional intelligence. Using daily tracking and specific measurement data of biometrical and physiological devices, the user can track the progress and thus enable the method to fine tune the MSF and MMP playlists for the best effectiveness of the music therapy informed method.

  • Patent number: 11794037
    Abstract: A method for radiation therapy treatment verification includes acquiring: treatment plan information from a radiation therapy system; patient image data; and transit image data received from an electronic portal imaging device during radiation therapy. The treatment plan information is divided into a plurality of segments. Predicted segment image data is determined utilizing a predicted image calculation algorithm and at least the patient image data and the treatment plan information. A predicted integrated image is determined through superposition of the predicted segment image data. Measured segment responses are determined from the transit image data utilizing the predicted segment image data and the predicted integrated image. The measured segment responses are converted to measured segment doses. A measured dose map having a sum of the measured segment doses is compared to a planned dose map based on the treatment plan information to assess radiation treatment delivery.
