| 20110299751 | Method and Apparatus to Facilitate Development of Therapeutic Treatment Plans - A digital image processing apparatus acquires first information comprising a first multi-dimensional high-energy study of a given treatment volume for a given person. This apparatus then combines this first information with second information that comprises a second multi-dimensional high-energy study of a given volume for a person that includes, but also exceeds, the given treatment volume. This second multi-dimensional high-energy study precedes in time the first multi-dimensional high-energy study. This combination yields resultant multi-dimensional high-energy image information for the given treatment volume that includes imaging information beyond the given treatment volume. The apparatus then uses this resultant information to facilitate development of a treatment plan for the given person without requiring a projection of the multi-dimensional high-energy image information into sinogram space. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110286642 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to the Use of Imaging and Surface Information to Influence a Radiation Treatment Plan to Accommodate Dynamic Physical Changes During the Treatment - A radiation-treatment planning apparatus accesses imaging information regarding at least a patient's treatment volume and surface information regarding dynamic surfaces within the radiation-treatment environment as pertains to the radiation treatment. The apparatus acquires the imaging information using a first imaging technology and the surface information using a second technology that is different than the first imaging technology. The apparatus uses the imaging and surface information to influence a radiation treatment plan for treating the treatment volume with radiation to accommodate dynamic physical changes within the radiation-treatment environment during the radiation treatment of the treatment volume. | 11-24-2011 |
