  • Patent number: 10391334
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a radiotherapy system having a treatment device for treating a treatment body part of a patient with a treatment beam arrangement. The treatment device is included with a couch for placing the patient and includes a medical imaging devices for outputting three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography images to a computer, and a medical imaging x-ray device for generating at least one x-ray image, if the patient is placed on the couch for treatment, and for outputting at least one x-ray image to the computer. The system will output movement control data to control the relative position of the treatment body part relative to the treatment beam if it is determined there is the offset between the position of the treatment body part relative to the bony structure as described by the image data and the position of the treatment body part relative to a bony structure.

  • Patent number: 9855443
    Abstract: A medical data processing method for determining a change in the position of a soft tissue body part of a patient's body, the data processing method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring (S10, S20) bony body part planned position data comprising bony body part planned position information describing a planned position of a bony body part of the patient's body; b) acquiring (S10, S20) soft tissue body part planned position data comprising soft tissue body part planned position information describing a planned position of the soft tissue body part; c) acquiring (S11, S21) bony body part actual position data comprising bony body part actual position information describing an actual position of the bony body part; d) acquiring (S11, S21) soft tissue body part actual position data comprising soft tissue body part actual position information describing an actual position of the soft tissue body part; e) determining (S12, S22), based on the bony body part pla

  • Patent number: 9849308
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a data processing method for determining the consistency of registration of the position of a treatment body part to be treated by radiotherapy with a treatment beam arrangement of at least one position of a treatment beam issued by a treatment device, the treatment body part being a soft tissue part of an anatomical structure of a patient's body and the data processing method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: g) acquiring CT data comprising predetermined CT information about a position of the treatment body part relative to a bony structure of the patient's body and about a first position of the bony structure relative to the treatment beam arrangement; h) acquiring x-ray data comprising x-ray information about a second position of the bony structure relative to the treatment beam arrangement; i) determining, based on the x-ray data and the CT data, bony structure position first transformation data comprising bony structure positio
