Patent number: 11833371Abstract: A radiotherapy system and method for delivering radiotherapy are provided. In some aspects, the radiotherapy system includes beam director comprising a radiation source configured to generate radiation for irradiating a patient, the beam director having at least four degrees of freedom of movement. The radiotherapy system also includes a controller configured to operate the beam director to irradiate the patient in accordance with a radiation treatment plan, wherein the radiation treatment plan is generated based on a solution space determined by the at least four degrees of freedom of movement of the beam director.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Radiabeam Systems, LLCInventors: Ke Sheng, Salime M. Boucher

Publication number: 20190380666Abstract: A system for coordinating radiation therapy and imaging processes includes a radiation therapy system an radiation source mounted on a robotically-controlled system to move the radiation source about a subject to direct radiation to a target area in the subject according to a treatment plan. The system also includes an imaging system configured to acquire imaging data from a subject. The imaging system and the radiation therapy system are independently movable. The system also includes a coordination system configured to coordinate operation of the imaging system to acquire the imaging data from the subject during movement of the radiation source about the subject according to the treatment plan to avoid collisions of the radiation therapy system with the imaging system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Ke Sheng, Salime M.

Patent number: 7764324Abstract: A thermal imaging device is provided for converting an image in the terahertz radiation range to the visible range. In one embodiment, the device includes a converter having a thermochromic liquid crystal layer mounted on a sapphire base. In another embodiment, the device includes a thermal absorption layer including a metal selected from the group of iron, aluminum, tin, and copper. In a further embodiment, the device has an light source shaped as an annulus for illuminating a rearward surface of the converter, configured to permit visible light rays to pass through the annulus for capture by a digital detector. In a final embodiment, the device has a thermal adjustment device for adjusting the temperature of the thermochromic liquid crystal layer to an optimal temperature.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Radiabeam Technologies, LLCInventors: Gerald Andonian, Salime M. Boucher, Pedro E. Frigola, Alex Y. Murokh, Timur Shaftan, Gil Travish

Patent number: 7411361Abstract: In an electron accelerator, a conductive housing defines a cavity. Photoelectrons are emitted from a photocathode into the cavity when light is applied to the photocathode. Via an opening formed in a wall of the conductive housing, the photoelectrons are output to the outside of the cavity. Coolant is flowed through a flow path formed in the wall of the conductive housing, to suppress a temperature rise of the conductive housing. The wall of the conductive housing is made by a metal additive manufacturing technique in such a way as to produce a flow path that has a gentle trajectory without discontinuities in gradient.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Radiabeam Technologies LLCInventors: Ronald B. Agustsson, Salime M. Boucher, Pedro E. Frigola, Alex Y. Murokh, James B. Rosenzweig, Gil Travish
