Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and device for real-time mechanical and dosimetric quality assurance measurements in radiation therapy provides a unified measurement of mechanical motion and radiation components of the machine. The device includes an imaging surface for receiving multiple energy sources. The imaging surface has an imaging plane positioned on a same plane as an isocenter of a medical accelerator. A camera measures and records data related to the multiple energy sources. A mirror system can be used to direct the multiple energy sources to the camera for further processing. However, in some instances the mirror system may not be necessary. Accordingly, a single device can be used to unify the measurement of mechanical motion and radiation component of the machine. The device can also include computer control in order to automate the movement of the device and/or automation of the QA protocol.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A device for unifying comprehensive real-time mechanical and dosimetric quality assurance measurements in radiation therapy, comprising: a housing defining an internal space; an imaging surface for receiving multiple energy sources, said imaging surface being coupled to the housing such that said imaging surface is positioned on a same plane as a plane through an isocenter of a medical accelerator, and wherein the multiple energy sources comprise op…
