Treatment planning, simulation, and verification system
View Patent ↗A treatment planning, simulation, and verification system is described. According to one embodiment, a treatment plan and a fluoroscopy data image of a treatment volume are received and the treatment plan is automatically adjusted based on the movement of the fluoroscopy data image. According to another embodiment, a system includes a treatment planning component to generate a treatment plan and a simulation component to simulate the execution of the treatment plan.
1. A method of adjusting a radiotherapy simulator system comprising:
displaying a digital image of a patient based on a treatment plan;
providing input associated with the digital image; and
automatically adjusting one or more components of the radiotherapy simulator system based on the input associated with the digital image.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the digital image includes overlaying a simulator digital image and a digitally reconstructed radiograph image.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
automatically displaying fields of data based on the digital image.
4. The method of daim 1 , further comprising:
recalculating the treatment plan based on the input associated with the digital image; and
saving the recalculated treatment plan.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing includes providing a radiation field input.
6. A machine-readable medium having instructions to cause a machine to perform a method of adjusting a radiotherapy simulator system, the method comprising:
displaying a digital image of a patient based on a treatment plan;
providing input associated with the digital image; and
automatically adjusting one or more components of the radiotherapy simulator system based on the input associated with the digital image.
7. The machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein displaying the digital image includes overlaying a simulator digital image and a digitally reconstructed radiograph image.
8. The machine-readable medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
automatically displaying fields of data based on the digital image.
9. The machine-readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising:
recalculating the treatment plan based on the input associated with the digital image; and
saving the recalculated treatment plan.
10. The machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the providing includes providing a radiation field input.
