  • Publication number: 20220249874
    Abstract: The present disclosures describes a remotely controlled stereotactic radiotherapy system. The system may include a gamma-ray irradiation system for radioablation of a target region of human tissue, the system having an irradiating unit configured to produce a radiation field, and a processor remote from the gamma-ray irradiation system configured to control the dosage and position of the radiation field applied to the target region.

  • Publication number: 20220249867
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a treatment planning system for use in a stereotactic radiotherapy system. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods may be used for generating a treatment plan and/or verifying an existing treatment plan. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may be suitable for use in a clinical setting. A method for verifying a treatment plan of a stereotactic radiotherapy device may include the steps of receiving a treatment plan, generating a second treatment plan by applying a modified monte-carlo method to regions of interest in the treatment plan, and identifying discrepancies between the received treatment plan and the generated second treatment plan.

  • Patent number: 11058891
    Abstract: A cloud-based radiation therapy treatment planning system (TPS). The TPS changes the clinical workflow of the radiotherapy treatment planning process, by increasing the mobility and computational power of the treatment planning software and hardware architecture. The system is divided into computational components. A user device includes a light and flexible user interface, while the server side entails a hospital relay server, and/or a graphics processing unit cluster server. The TPS computational architecture enables the computational power of a GPU-cluster server on a tablet, laptop, or smartphone.

  • Patent number: 10835759
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations for creating a patient-specific soft bolus for radiotherapy treatment are disclosed. 2D and/or 3D images of a desired radiotherapy treatment site may be acquired, such as the head, neck, skin, breast, anus, and/or vulva. A user may interact with one or more representations of the images via an interactive user interface such as a graphical user interface (GUI). The images may include target/avoidance structures and radiation beam arrangement. The user may interact with the images to create a visualization of a patient-specific bolus. The visualization and properties of the bolus may be modified as the user manipulates aspects of the image. Data corresponding to the bolus models may be used to create 3D printed negative molds of the bolus model using 3D printing technology. A soft patient-specific bolus may be cast using the 3D printed model.
