Abstract: An adaptive imaging method of monitoring intrafraction target motion during radiation therapy is provided that includes using a simultaneous Mega-Voltage (MV) imaging process and Kilo-Voltage (KV) imaging process to determine an initial 3D target position. 2D target position is monitored using the MV imaging process during a radiation therapy treatment delivery, and is in combination with an online-updated characterization of target motion that are disposed to estimate if the target has moved beyond a 3D threshold distance. The simultaneous MV imaging and KV imaging processes are for accurately determining a new 3D target position for intrafraction motion compensation and for further 2D imaging by the MV imaging process, where another simultaneous MV and KV imaging process is initiated when the target has potentially moved beyond the threshold distance as measured by the MV imaging process. The intrafraction target motion monitoring is achieved at the cost of ultralow patient imaging dose.

This convenient to use, recyclable, all in one pallet can significantly lower various RFID tag costs in RFID technology applications in large scale. Any damaged part can be easily replaced with new parts to keep the pallet continually in use, thereby reducing the coast per pallet in the supply chain.

Abstract: Real-time 3D tracking of anatomical positions during radiation therapy uses acquired image data from an MV treatment beam as it is rotated around the patient during arc radiotherapy treatment. The acquired image data and associated angular positions are computationally combined during the arc radiotherapy treatment to estimate in real time 3D positions of anatomical features of the patient, e.g., combining present image data and prior image data at earlier times. Supplementary image data from a kV imaging system may be acquired on an as-needed basis if MV position estimates indicate movement exceeding a predetermined threshold, and the supplementary kV image data combined with the acquired MV image data to improve an accuracy of the estimated 3D positions.
