REAL-TIME ONLINE AND OFFLINE TREATMENT DOSE TRACKING AND FEEDBACK PROCESS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE-GUIDED AND ADAPTIVE RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for radiotherapy and a method for treating a test object with radiation.SOLUTION: A method of treating an object with radiation includes steps of generating three-dimensional image data of a region of interest of a test object and emitting a therapeutic radiation beam towards the region of interest of the test object in accordance with a reference plan. The method further includes a step of evaluating the three-dimensional image data and at least one parameter of the therapeutic radiation beam to provide a real-time online or offline evaluation and online or offline modification of the reference plan.
