Patent number: 12274895Abstract: Techniques for adjusting radiotherapy treatment for a patient in real time are provided. The techniques include operations comprising: obtaining, during delivery of a radiotherapy treatment fraction to a patient, one or more images of the patient at a first rate; generating patient motion information at a second rate based on the one or more images obtained at the first rate; receiving, during delivery of the radiotherapy treatment fraction, radiotherapy treatment device settings at a third rate; computing, during delivery of the radiotherapy treatment fraction, dose delivered to the patient with a first level of accuracy based on the generated patient motion information and the radiotherapy treatment device settings; and determining, during delivery of the radiotherapy treatment fraction, a real-time measure of accumulated dose delivered to the patient with a second greater level of accuracy than the first level of accuracy using one or more prior dose computations.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Elekta AB (publ)Inventors: David Andreas Tilly, Peter Kimstrand, Petter Ericson, Nina Terese Tilly

Patent number: 12251577Abstract: Techniques for adjusting radiotherapy treatment for a patient in real time are provided. The techniques include retrieving a reference plan that includes three-dimensional (3D) volume representation of information for the patient and a plurality of radiotherapy beam delivery segments; identifying a first portion of the 3D volume representation of information for a first beam delivery segment of the plurality of radiotherapy beam delivery segments that includes a volumetric portion of a target irradiated by the first beam delivery segment; accessing a deformation model representing patient deformation during a radiotherapy treatment fraction; deforming the first portion of the 3D volume representation of information based on the deformation model; and updating one or more parameters of a radiotherapy treatment device based on the deformed first portion of the 3D volume representation of information.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Elekta AB (publ)Inventors: Stella Lucie Riad, David Andreas Tilly, Peter Kimstrand, Klas Marcks von Würtemberg, Nina Terese Tilly

Patent number: 11794038Abstract: A method for creating an irradiation plan. The method may include receiving an irradiation therapy plan for irradiating a target with a proton beam from a gantry. The irradiation therapy plan may have a plurality of irradiation spots for delivering protons to the target. The method may include identifying a rotational profile for angular rotation of the gantry with respect to the target, a slew time for a proton beam to travel between each of the plurality of irradiation spots, and an amount of protons to be delivered to each irradiation spot. The method may also include creating an irradiation plan. The irradiation plan may include a plurality of groups of irradiation spots based on the rotational profile, the slew time, and the amount of protons to be delivered to each irradiation spot. Each group of irradiation spots may be associated with a respective portion of the angular rotation.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Alejandro Carabe-Fernandez, Peter Kimstrand
