More Information
Summary:A system for performing radiation treatment of a patient with a proton beam from a particle accelerator uses a high-sensitivity camera to capture dose images of patient surface, a video processor that integrates the dose images, beam-on detection apparatus, and apparatus to eliminate interference of room lighting. In embodiments, the system registers dose images to a surface model of the patient derived from stereo image pairs captured by a stereo camera. In embodiments, the surface model is registered to three-dimensional images of the patient from MRI or CT, and an integrated three-dimensional energy deposition map of the patient is prepared.
