Abstract: An image guided radiotherapy apparatus and a control method are provided. According to a specific embodiment, the radiotherapy apparatus includes: a treatment unit, which includes a treatment head for generating radiation beam for radiotherapy; an imaging unit for imaging a target area of a patient, wherein the imaging unit is integrated mounted with the treatment head. The radiotherapy apparatus of the present invention can be applicable to both extracorporeal and intraoperative radiotherapy, and has a high radiotherapy accuracy.

Abstract: A cabin type beam irradiation apparatus and a method for performing beam irradiation method are provided. According to an embodiment, the beam irradiation apparatus comprises: a gantry having a hollow frame structure, the hollow portion of which being formed as a treatment cabin; a first guide rail, which is fixedly arranged on the frame; a treatment head, which is slidably arranged on the first guide rail; and an entry door, which may be openably and closably arranged on the gantry. The beam irradiation apparatus can perform radiotherapy on patients in a standing or sitting posture. Imaging guidance is additionally used to ensure the accuracy of the treatment position, and thus highly focused radiation is achieved by (non)coplanar radiotherapy. Further, the apparatus may have self-shielding function, and can reduce the difficulty and cost for construction of a machine room.

Abstract: A method for planning a scan path for intraoperative radiation therapy may comprise acquiring a plurality of images of a region of interest through an auxiliary scanning component, establishing a 3D model of the region of interest based on the plurality of images of the region of interest, determining a radiation therapy volume based on the 3D model of the region of interest, and planning a scan path for a radiation therapy component to scan the radiation therapy volume.
