1. A phantom for verification in a radiotherapy system comprising:
- a hollow body configured to support a detector surface for obtaining a panoramic image of individual radiation beams produced by one or more sources in the radiotherapy system; and
at least one of;
an outer sleeve positionable about an outer surface of the body, for conforming the detector surface to an outer geometry of the body; and
a solid inner core positionable inside the body, for conforming the detector surface to an inner geometry of the body;
wherein the body is configured to position the detector surface for obtaining the panoramic image in an intermediate region between the one or more sources and a target isocenter of the radiotherapy system.

Abstract
Methods and phantoms for verification in radiotherapy systems. A phantom for verification in a radiotherapy system may include a body to support a detector surface for obtaining a panoramic image of individual radiation beams in the radiotherapy system. The detector surface may be positioned in an intermediate region between the one or more sources and a target isocenter of the radiotherapy system. The detector surface may at least partially surround the target isocenter.

10. A method of verification in a radiotherapy system, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a panoramic image of individual radiation beams in the radiotherapy system, the panoramic image being indicative of locations of individual beams produced by one or more sources in the radiotherapy system; and calculating source configuration of the one or more sources, based on the beam images of the panoramic image, for verification with a pre-determined target configuration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
