Abstract: Presented systems and methods enable efficient and effective radiation treatment planning and treatment, including accurate and convenient transmission of the radiation towards a tissue target. In one embodiment, a radiation system includes a particle source, a bremsstrahlung target, and a pinhole collimator. The particle source is configured to produce a particle beam (e.g., an electron beam, etc.). The bremsstrahlung target is configured to receive the particle beam and generate a photon radiation beam. The received particle beam and generated photon radiation beam can correspond to an inflected image. The inflected image can be associated with a tumor/tissue target. The pinhole collimator is configured to receive the photon radiation beam in a pattern that corresponds to the inflected image, invert the photon radiation beam pattern, and forward the results towards a tissue target.

Abstract: Information that describes a target inside a patient to be treated with radiation is accessed from computer system memory. An arrangement of spots inside the target is determined. Each the spots corresponds to a location inside the target where a respective beam of radiation is to be directed during radiation treatment of the patient. A dose rate for each of the beams is determined. The dose rate for each beam is a dose delivered in less than one second to a spot corresponding to that beam. For example, each beam can deliver at least four grays (GY) in less than one second, and may deliver as much as 20 Gy to 50 Gy or 100 Gy or more in less than one second. A radiation treatment plan, that includes the arrangement of the spots and the dose rate for each of the beams, is stored in computer system memory.

Abstract: A method provides real-time correction of the spatial position of the central beam of radiation therapy devices and therapy simulators, along with the patient position. In particular, the method relates to the real-time correction of irradiation positions of the collimator and/or the position of the patient positioning table during the performance of radiation therapy or therapy simulation. Positional deviations of the central beam of existing radiation therapy devices are reduced. Position adjustments of the collimator elements and/or of the patient support table are carried out through functional connections of separate control modules via separate adjustment devices. Those are added to the collimator and/or patient support table. Calculation of the correction movements takes place outside the radiation therapy device in the irradiation planning system and/or in at least one microcontroller of the control system of the radiation therapy device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method evaluates a protocol for radiation therapy for a target volume of a patient. The method uses a computer system executing software instructions establishing computer processes. The computer processes receiving and storing data defining the protocol and characterizing the target volume. The computer processes parse the data to extract parameters characterizing the protocol. The computer processes apply the extracted parameters and the target volume to a model that represents relationships among sub-processes and variables pertinent to execution of the protocol in a patient. The computer processes obtain from the model an evaluation of the protocol and providing the evaluation as an output.

Abstract: A control circuit configured as a multi-criteria optimizer generates a radiation therapy treatment plan. The circuit then determines a resultant dose distribution as a function of the radiation therapy treatment plan and presents, on a display, at least a part of that resultant dose distribution. The latter may comprise, for example, presenting at least one isodose line on the display. The control circuit then detects user manipulation of a user interface. By one approach, this manipulation does not include corresponding immediate movement of any part of the presented resultant dose distribution itself. In particular, the detected user manipulation does not result in dragged movement of an isodose line on the display. Upon detecting that user manipulation, the control circuit modifies a dose value at a particular location on the presented resultant dose distribution as a function of that user manipulation of the user interface to provide a modified dose distribution and/or, by one approach, a new candidate radiation therapy treatment plan as an interpolation and/or mix of the treatment plans generated by a multi-criteria optimizer.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for planning radiosurgical treatments for neuromodulating a portion of the renovascular system may be used to plan radiosurgical neuromodulation treatments for conditions or disease associated with elevated central sympathetic drive. The renal nerves may be located and targeted at the level of the ganglion and/or at postganglionic positions, as well as preganglionic positions. Target regions include the renal plexus, celiac ganglion, the superior mesenteric ganglion, the aorticorenal ganglion and the aortic plexus. Planning of radiosurgical treatments will optionally employ a graphical representation of a blood/tissue interface adjacent these targets.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for maintaining functioning drainage blebs to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The methods, systems, and compositions feature the combination of a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) implant or procedure and the application of beta radiation to the bleb. The beta radiation can function to inhibit or reduce the inflammation and/or fibrogenesis that typically occurs after insertion of a MIGS implant and leads to bleb failure. By reducing inflammation and/or fibrogenesis, the MIGS implant and the blebs can remain functioning appropriately.

Abstract: A method of determining treatment geometries for a radiotherapy treatment includes providing a patient model having one or more regions of interest (ROIs); defining a delivery coordinate space (DCS); for each beam's eye view (BEV) plane of each vertex in the DCS, and for each ROI, evaluating a dose of the ROI using transport solutions; evaluating a BEV scores of each pixel of the BEV plane using the doses of the one or more ROIs; determining one or more BEV regions in the BEV plane based on the BEV scores; determining a BEV region connectivity manifold based on the BEV regions; determining a set of treatment trajectories based on the BEV region connectivity manifold; and determining one or more IMRT fields. Each treatment trajectory defines a path through a set of vertices in the DCS. Each IMRT field defines a direction of incidence corresponding to a vertex in the DCS.
