REAL-TIME, ON-LINE AND OFFLINE TREATMENT DOSE TRACKING AND FEEDBACK PROCESS FOR VOLUMETRIC IMAGE GUIDED ADAPTIVE RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

A planning and control system for radiotherapy that includes a system for generating volumetric image data of an area of interest of an object and emitting a therapeutic radiation beam towards the area of interest of the object in accordance with a reference plan. The system further includes evaluating the volumetric image data and at least one parameter of the therapeutic radiation beam to provide a real-time, on-line or off-line evaluation and on- line or off-line modification of the reference plan.
