Patient information for a particular patient, radiation treatment information, and information regarding a particular radiation treatment platform that includes at least one multi-leaf collimator are each accessed. These teachings then provide for optimizing a radiation treatment plan to dose at least one treatment volume in the particular patient using the particular radiation treatment platform as a function of the patient information, the radiation treatment information, and the information regarding the particular radiation treatment platform, wherein the optimizing does not include optimizing movement of any leaves of the multi-leaf collimator.

This invention relates to a ceramic module for assembly into a therapeutic device for treating a human or animal body with irradiation of far infrared radiation and low dose ionizing radiation based on radiation hormesis effect. More specifically, the invention relates to a ceramic module that simultaneously emits far infrared radiation within 3-16 μm wavelength spectrum and ionizing radiation at a specific dose rate in the range of 0.1-11 μSv/h (micro-Sieverts per hour). Said ceramic module may be used alone or serve as components of a therapeutic device for increasing physiologic performance, immune competence, health, and mean lifespan of human or animal.

A control circuit access information corresponding to patient geometry information for a particular patient. The control circuit then provides that information, along with at least one variable that is unrelated to that particular patient, as input to a field geometry generator. The field geometry generator can comprise a neural network trained in a conditional generative adversarial networks (GAN) framework as a function of previously-developed field geometry solutions for a plurality of different patients. In such a case the information corresponding to the patient geometry information for the particular patient can serve as conditional input to the neural network. So configured, the control circuit can then process the foregoing input using the field geometry generator to thereby generate the therapeutic radiation delivery field geometry for the particular patient.

The present invention relates to an ophthalmic treatment apparatus and a control method therefor, and provides an ophthalmic treatment apparatus and a control method therefor, the ophthalmic treatment apparatus comprising: a setting unit formed so as to set a treatment mode; a therapeutic light emission unit emitting therapeutic light at a target position of an eyeground multiple times so as to perform treatment; a monitoring unit for monitoring information on the state of the target position by the therapeutic light during the emission of the therapeutic light; and a control unit for determining whether a treatment intensity according to the treatment mode has been reached, by using the information monitored by the monitoring unit, and for controlling an operation of the therapeutic light emission unit on the basis of the determination.

Single-use brachytherapy systems for application of beta radiation to a target tissue, and methods of use. The single-use brachytherapy systems herein feature a cap into which a radionuclide brachytherapy source (RBS) can be inserted and a handle that removably attaches to the cap. When the handle is disengaged from the cap in order to access the RBS, the system is rendered useless for its original purpose, for its use as it was originally intended, for its use as prescribed, unless repaired.

A method for producing a model for the application of radiation to a body surface area of a living being for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes is provided. The method includes defining a body surface area to which radiation shall be applied; producing a model having at least one surface which has the inverted shape of the defined body surface area, so that the model is configured to fit on the defined body surface area; and providing a radioactive isotope to the model during its production or after its production. Further, the use of the model in a cosmetic treatment of the skin is provided. The model, for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes, includes a surface which has the inverted shape of a defined body surface area which shall be treated with radiation.

A therapeutic applicator and method may include a wand portion and a module coupled to the wand portion. The module may have a body section and a recess positioned within the body section. The body section may include a prismatic member made of a transparent material and the body section may further include a convex surface. The convex surface may provide a magnification of a view that includes a region surrounding the recess. A radiation source may be positioned within the recess. The body section may have a thickness greater than a diameter of the radiation source which is sufficient to attenuate radiation being emitted from the radiation source while the transparent material of the body section allows visibility of a treatment site that is adjacent to the radiation source. The magnification of the view may fall in range between about 1.1 times to 50.0 times an unmagnified view.

The present invention relates to a low energy radiation therapy system for superficial lesion treatment and an operation method thereof, the low energy radiation therapy system comprising: an optical scanner for acquiring 3D scanning data of a treatment region including a superficial lesion site; an irradiation unit configured to apply radiation to the treatment region; a calculation unit for calculating, on the basis of the 3D scanning data, a skin dose, energy of radiation, and a part-specific radiation amount adjustment value, and producing, according to the part-specific radiation amount adjustment value, shape data of a compensation unit to be provided at the end of the irradiation unit; and a 3D printer configured to three-dimensionally print and produce the compensation unit according to the shape data.

Systems and methods are provided for generating surface brachytherapy applicators in which catheter channel trajectories are generated laterally from both sides of a cut plane bisecting an initial model of the surface brachytherapy applicator model, thereby mitigating the effects of patient-surface-induced curvature. The catheter channels may be defined based on catheter channel trajectories that are spatially distributed, relative to the cut plane, on both sides of the cut plane, and spatially offset relative to a patient-facing surface of the surface brachytherapy applicator model. In some example embodiments, catheter channel trajectories are spaced relative to the cut plane such that neighbouring catheter channel trajectories are evenly spaced along a set of contours. Prior to fabrication, the local radius of curvature of catheter channels may be adjusted in a manual or automated manner to exceed a threshold.

Radionuclide brachytherapy sources and systems for applying beta radiation to a target area, for example for maintaining functioning drainage blebs or functioning drainage holes in the eye, e.g., to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The systems herein provide a substantially uniform dose across a particular area, thereby providing appropriate radiation therapies.
