First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of delivering a radiation therapy treatment, the method comprising:
- generating a treatment plan for a patient;
positioning the patient to receive radiation;
monitoring machine parameters in substantially real-time, the monitoring including analyzing information regarding the machine parameters and how the parameters affect dose delivered to the patient;
optimizing at least a portion of the treatment plan in substantially real-time to incorporate the analyzed information from the monitored machine parameters; and
delivering at least a portion of the optimized treatment plan to the patient.

Abstract
A system and method of optimizing delivery of a radiation therapy treatment. The system optimizes treatment delivery in real-time to take into account a variety of factors, such as patient anatomical and physiological changes (e.g., respiration and other movement, etc.), and machine configuration changes (e.g., beam output factors, couch error, leaf error, etc.).
