20210369216 · 2021-12-02 · ·

A method for collision detection of a radiotherapy equipment includes determining a collision-prone position of a target to be detected; and determining whether the target to be detected having a risk of collision with the radiotherapy equipment according to collision risk analysis data that is capable for reflecting a magnitude relationship between a first distance and a second distance. The first distance is a distance from the collision-prone position to a reference position of the radiotherapy equipment, and the second distance is a minimum distance between a target component of the radiotherapy equipment and the reference position. A distance between the reference position and the target component of the radiotherapy equipment is relatively constant when the target component of the radiotherapy equipment rotates around a rotation axis.
