PARTICLE THERAPY SYSTEM, IRRADIATION CONTROL APPARATUS, AND IRRADIATION CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945180 titled 'PARTICLE THERAPY SYSTEM, IRRADIATION CONTROL APPARATUS, AND IRRADIATION CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an irradiation control apparatus that calculates the measurement characteristic of a dose monitor based on the dose and beam size of a beam, and controls the irradiation of a patient with the beam based on this characteristic.
- A dose monitor measures the dose of a beam.
- A position monitor measures the beam size of the beam.
- The irradiation control apparatus calculates the measurement characteristic of the dose monitor based on the dose and beam size of the beam.
- The apparatus controls the irradiation of the patient with the beam based on the measurement characteristic and the dose.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in radiation therapy for cancer treatment, ensuring accurate and precise delivery of radiation doses to patients.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures accurate measurement and control of radiation doses during treatment. 2. Helps in minimizing the risk of over or under-dosing patients during irradiation.
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy and precision in radiation therapy. 2. Enhanced patient safety during treatment. 3. Optimal delivery of radiation doses for effective treatment outcomes.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Radiation Therapy Control System for Enhanced Treatment Efficacy
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing systems for monitoring and controlling radiation doses in medical settings, such as radiation therapy machines and dosimeters.
