    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Context:

    • Patient positioning is critical in computed tomography (CT) and radiation therapy for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Inaccurate patient alignment can lead to suboptimal imaging and ineffective radiation delivery.
    • Verifying the transfer of treatment plans between planning and delivery systems is essential for patient safety.

    Purpose:

    • To present an opto-mechanical device for real-time registration of patient displacements in CT.
    • To enable verification of irradiation plan transmission from simulator to therapy units.
    • To enhance accuracy and safety in radiation therapy workflows.

    Summary:

    • An opto-mechanical device has been developed to precisely measure patient displacements relative to the CT table.
    • This device facilitates the validation of radiation therapy plan data transfer to treatment equipment.
    • The system integrates imaging and treatment planning verification capabilities.

    Impact:

    • Improved accuracy in CT imaging by accounting for patient motion.
    • Enhanced safety and reliability in radiation therapy delivery.
    • Potential for reducing treatment errors and improving patient outcomes through precise alignment and plan verification.
