  • Patent number: 12343563
    Abstract: Methods and systems for radiation treatment planning and delivery apply a CODA cube. Cost values in the CODA cube may be used in the optimization of couch, collimator, and gantry angles simultaneously. Trajectories generated using the CODA cube show significant benefits when compared to conventional VMAT. A statistically significant sparing to OAR maximum radiation doses was seen. CODA plans resulted in a reduction to maximum radiation dose in OARs of 20.6% (p<0.01), with maximum brainstem radiation dose decreased by 2.63 Gy (p=0.031) on average. Mean reduction in total MU was 8.6% (p=0.156), and a mean decrease in non-target brain tissue receiving 12 Gy or higher was 3.9% (p=0.16), when compared to standard VMAT methods (n=7).

  • Publication number: 20250185130
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for powering light sources to reduce optical and/or electrical interference between the light sources and optical components in the same environment. The light sources may be powered using power modulation signals, whose frequency may be varied across modulation periods. Optionally, the frequency may be varied randomly or pseudo randomly. The systems and methods may additionally or alternatively introduce phase modulation into the control signals for driving channels of light sources. A phase difference in the control signals to at least two channels can reduce or avoid simultaneous or synchronous driving of the channels. The systems and methods described herein can vary one or more properties (e.g., frequency, phase shift, delay, duty cycle, power, etc.) of the power modulation signals.
