METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND ASSOCIATED IMPLANTABLE DEVICES FOR DETECTING RADIATION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR CANCER
First Claim
1. A computer network for providing oncology patient radiation data, comprising:
- a processor configured to provide radiation data detected by a plurality of spaced apart wireless sensors implanted in respective oncology patients for verification of radiation doses delivered to a target tumor treatment site in each respective patient during at least one radiation therapy session to allow evaluation of delivered dose distribution versus a planned dose distribution.

Abstract
Methods and systems for evaluating external beam radiation therapy delivered to a subject include: (a) placing at least one wireless implantable sensor in a first subject at a target location; (b) administering a first dose of radiation therapy into tile first subject; (c) obtaining radiation data from the at least one wireless implantable sensor; and (d) calculating a radiation dose amount received by the first subject at the target location based on the radiation data obtained from the at least one wireless sensor during and/or after exposure to the first administered dose of radiation to determine and/or verify a dose amount of radiation delivered to the target location.

11. A method of obtaining and providing oncology patient radiation data, comprising;
-
electronically collecting radiation data from a plurality of implanted wireless sensors in respective oncology patients based on radiation exposure of the implanted sensors during at least one radiation therapy session;
electronically providing the patient radiation data to a clinician at a clinician workstation via a computer network; and
generating a radiation dose distribution using the collected radiation data for comparison to a planned dose distribution at a target tumor treatment site in respective patients. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
