Abstract

An output apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: acquire identification information for identifying a state of a patient fastened to a radiotherapy apparatus with a fastener; calculate a rest level of the patient based on the identification information; and output a change in the rest level over time.

Claims (25)

1 . An output apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

acquire identification information for identifying a state of a patient fastened to a radiotherapy apparatus with a fastener;

calculate a rest level of the patient based on the identification information; and

output a change in the rest level over time.

2 . The output apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display configured to display the change in the rest level over time, wherein

the processing circuitry outputs the rest level to the display.

3 . The output apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to:

acquire, as a reference value, a rest level in a normal state in which the fastener is not attached, and calculate an amount of change in the rest level relative to the reference value; and

output the calculated amount of change in the rest level.

4 . The output apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the normal state is a state during a treatment plan, a state during preparing of the fastener, a waiting state, or a state immediately before the fastener is attached.

5 . The output apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry outputs a warning if the rest level has changed.

6 . The output apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to:

specify a fastener attached to the patient based on image data obtained by photographing the patient, and determine a cause of the change in the rest level based on a result of the calculating of the rest level and a result of the specifying of the fastener; and

output a result of the determining of the cause of the change in the rest level.

7 . A radiotherapy apparatus, comprising:

the output apparatus according to claim 1 ;

a bed on which the patient is placed;

an irradiator unit configured to emit radiation;

a gantry configured to support the irradiator; and

a measurement device configured to measure the identification information of the patient.
