RADIOTHERAPEUTICAL OR RADIOSURGICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING TWO OR MORE ROTATABLE HIGH-INTENSITY RADIATION SOURCES AND A RING-SHAPED IMAGER, AND METHODS THEREOF
The present invention provides a radiotherapeutical or radiosurgical system comprising at least two high-intensity radiation sources configured to rotate around a common rotation axis and a ring-shaped imaging device. A three-source configuration is considered as the most cost-effective and will be used as an example for illustration. The three radiation sources are specially configured with each radiation source emits a radiation beam having an angle (α1, α2 or α3 respectively) relative to the common rotation axis and targets at a common isocenter. During a radiation treatment, the angles α1, α2 and α3 are independently of each other constant or variable with a magnitude of less than ±15°, and it always remains that α1≠α2, α1≠α3, and α2≠α3. The special configuration of these high-intensity radiation sources and use of a unique compact MLC for each of the radiation sources make it possible for the system to rapidly deliver high-conformal non-coplanar stereotactic radiation treatment in one gantry rotation without any couch rotation. Consequently, a ring-shaped imaging device, which does not allow couch rotation, can be integrated into the system to provide high-precision image guidance. Therefore, the present invention can deliver high precision and high-conformal non-coplanar stereotactic radiation treatment to any part of the body in an extremely short time (0.1-20 seconds), which may exhibit numerous advantages over the prior art, such as reduction of radiation damage to the circulating immune cells in blood and mitigation of patient motion-induced problems, among others.
X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM FOR RADIATION THERAPY
The present disclosure may provide a radiation system including a first rotation portion, a second rotation portion, a treatment head, one or more imaging sources, and at least one detector. At least a portion of the treatment head may be disposed in the first rotation portion. At least one of the one or more imaging sources may be disposed in the second rotation portion. The second rotation portion may be able to rotate independently from the first rotation portion.

The target radiation therapy plan may be the first radiation therapy plan or a second radiation therapy plan associated with the second image, wherein at least a portion of the determining the target radiation therapy plan may be performed in parallel.
Radiation therapy system and method of operating radiation therapy apparatus
A radiation therapy system is capable of widening a radiation irradiation range to a patient and includes: a radiation source; a rotation mechanism that supports the radiation source in rotation around an isocenter; a couch that places a therapy target site of a patient at the isocenter; a head swing mechanism that is disposed between the radiation source and the rotation mechanism and that swings an irradiation axis of a radiation emitted from the radiation source by swinging the radiation source; and a controller. The controller holds the head swing mechanism in a state where the irradiation axis of the radiation of the radiation source is shifted from the isocenter in a predetermined direction by a predetermined amount, and rotates the radiation source by the rotation mechanism while emitting the radiation from the radiation source while maintaining the state of the head swing mechanism.
