Patent Images
1. A method of automatically processing data relating to a radiation therapy treatment plan, the method comprising:
- acquiring image data of a patient;
generating a treatment plan for the patient based at least in part on the image data, the treatment plan including a calculated radiation dose to be delivered to the patient;
acquiring an on-line volumetric image of the patient in substantially a treatment position, the image including sufficient image data to allow calculation of dose;
delivering at least a portion of the calculated radiation dose to the patient; and
automatically calculating using a computer the radiation dose using the online volumetric image, the radiation dose reflecting what has been received by the patient.

25. A method of automatically processing data relating to a radiation therapy treatment plan, the method comprising:
-
acquiring volumetric image data of a patient, the image data including sufficient information to allow calculation of dose; generating a treatment plan for the patient based at least in part on the image data, the treatment plan including a calculated radiation dose to be delivered to the patient; inputting new data relating to radiation therapy treatment, the data not included in the treatment plan; delivering at least a portion of the calculated radiation dose to the patient; and automatically calculating using a computer the radiation dose reflecting what has been received by the patient. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A system for automatically processing data relating to a radiation therapy treatment plan, the system comprising:
-
a radiation therapy treatment device including a computer processor, the radiation therapy treatment device operable to deliver radiation to a patient according to a treatment plan; and a software program stored in a computer readable medium accessible by the computer processor, the software being operable to acquire image data of a patient, generate a treatment plan for the patient based at least in part on the image data, the treatment plan including a calculated radiation dose to be delivered to the patient, acquire an on-line volumetric image, including sufficient image data to allow calculation of dose, of the patient in substantially a treatment position, deliver at least a portion of the calculated radiation dose to the patient, and automatically calculate the radiation dose reflecting what has been received by the patient. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
