Abstract: Described herein are variations of a radiotherapy patient motion detection system. For example, a patient motion detection system may include a sensor coupled to a patient support platform for use in measuring patient motion during a radiotherapy treatment session. The motion sensor may transmit measurements to a controller for processing and subsequent use in timing delivery of radiation to a treatment region of interest within a patient. Also described herein are methods of use of a patient motion detection system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for shuttle mode radiation delivery are described herein. One method for radiation delivery comprises moving the patient platform through the patient treatment region multiple times during a treatment session. This may be referred to as patient platform or couch shuttling (i.e., couch shuttle mode). Another method for radiation delivery comprises moving the therapeutic radiation source jaw across a range of positions during a treatment session. The jaw may move across the same range of positions multiple times during a treatment session. This may be referred to as jaw shuttling (i.e., jaw shuttle mode). Some methods combine couch shuttle mode and jaw shuttle mode. Methods of dynamic or pipelined normalization are also described.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a stationary frame and a thermal ring. The thermal ring may be rotatably coupled to the stationary frame and disposed relative to the stationary frame such that the thermal ring and the stationary frame define an enclosure. The thermal ring may include a thermally-conductive substrate configured to be in thermal contact with a heat-generating component. Heat from the heat-generating component may be transferred to the stationary frame via the enclosure.
