Calibration method for radiotherapy system using a phantom
The patent US12042671B2 describes a radiotherapy system that integrates a radiotherapy treatment apparatus with a stereoscopic camera assembly. This system is designed to accurately determine the location of a subject in relation to the treatment apparatus's coordinate system. Central to this functionality is a processor that processes image data from the stereoscopic camera to calibrate the camera's coordinate system. Calibration involves receiving image data from a physical calibration phantom, both from the camera assembly and the radiotherapy apparatus, allowing the processor to identify discrepancies between the two coordinate systems. This calibration process is essential for ensuring precise alignment and effective treatment delivery.
Additionally, the patent outlines a calibration system that employs similar methodologies to enhance the accuracy of the radiotherapy treatment system. The calibration system utilizes a stereoscopic camera to image a physical calibration phantom, with the processor evaluating the received image data against reference data. This evaluation aids in determining the differences between the camera and treatment apparatus coordinate systems. Furthermore, the patent includes provisions for non-transitory computer-readable media that store software instructions for calibrating various aspects of the radiotherapy system. This software facilitates the processing of radiation data and image data to generate calibration data, which is crucial for aligning the coordinate systems of the stereoscopic camera and the radiotherapy apparatus, thereby improving the overall efficacy of the radiotherapy treatment.
