MEDICAL TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD USING RADIOACTIVITY BASED POSITION SENSOR

摘要

A method of aiming a therapeutic beam at a patient having a source of radioactive emissions implanted at a position having a geometric relationship to a target tissue, the method comprising: (a) providing a patient having a source of radioactive emissions implanted therein.; (b) determining at least an indication of a location of said source using at least one radioactivity detecting position sensor; and (c) automatically aiming a therapeutic beam at said target based on said at least an indication of location.
