Inventors: Mingli Chen (Dallas, TX), Steve B Jiang (Dallas, TX), Weiguo Lu (Dallas, TX) Assignee: The Board of the University of Texas System (Austin, TX) Law Firm: Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP (local + 13 other metros) application number, date, speed: 16073097 January 26, 2017 (1636 day application issued)
Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media provide techniques for directly using the therapy beam to probe the intrabody beam range for particle therapy.In one embodiment, a configuration is determined for one or more detection points, each point corresponding to a planned location within the interior region of the tumor volume where a dose of radiation will be delivered.At least one treatment beam is provided to the tumor volume, and one or more images can be captured to provide an indication of the extent/depth of the detection point.Providing the probe point inside the tumor volume reduces the risk of delivering dose to sensitive tissue (eg, because the dose may remain in the tumor volume even if it is delivered to a location other than the planned location).
