Patient motion tracking for non‐isocentric and non‐coplanar treatments via fixed frame‐of‐reference 3D camera

摘要

As C‐arm linac radiation therapy evolves toward faster, more efficient delivery, and more conformal dosimetry, treatments with increasingly complex couch motions are emerging. Monitoring the patient motion independently of the couch motion during non‐coplanar, non‐isocentric, or dynamic couch treatments is a key bottleneck to their clinical implementation. The goal of this study is to develop a prototype real‐time monitoring system for unconventional beam trajectories to ensure a safe and accurate treatment delivery.
