  • Method for determining a configuration setting of a source of ionizing radiation
    Patent number: 11224386
    Abstract: A method for determining a configuration setting of a source of ionizing radiation reducing a radiation dose absorbed by a patient and a practitioner in a medical operating room during a procedure. Prior to the procedure a database of maps of simulated propagation and scattering of ionizing radiation in a model of the medical operating room is obtained for different configuration settings. During the procedure, a position of the practitioner is determined. After determining a set of configuration settings of the source enabling the production of an image of a target anatomical structure a radiation dose absorbed by the patient and the practitioner is determined using the maps from the database. A recommended configuration setting for which a combined radiation dose is reduced is then outputted.
