  • TRIGGERED TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20240278039
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a radiation therapy method can include loading a planning image of a target in a human. In addition, the position of the target can be monitored. A computation can be made of an occurrence of substantial alignment between the position of the target and the target of the planning image. Furthermore, after the computing, a beam of radiation is triggered to deliver a dosage to the target in a short period of time (e.g., less than a second).
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 17, 2024
    Publication date: August 22, 2024
    Applicants: Varian Medical Systems, Inc., Siemens Healthineers International AG.
