Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system and method for delivering for administering radiation to a patient. The method may include associating the patient with one of a plurality of coded dosage zones wherein each of the plurality of coded dosage zones corresponds to one or more values of a physical characteristic. The method may further include correlating the one of the plurality of coded dosage zones to a dose of radiation and then applying the dose of radiation to the patient.
Claims15
A method of administering radiation to a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor associated with a radiation device, information indicating that a patient is associated with a coded region included among a plurality of coded regions wherein each of the plurality of coded regions corresponds to one or more values of a physical characteristic wherein the processor determines a patient size;
- receiving, at the processor, a radiation location for the patient;
- determining, at the processor and based on the patient size, a safe range of radiation for the patient;
- correlating, at the processor, the coded region and the radiation location with a dose of radiation;
- and
- applying the dose of radiation to the patient at the radiation location.
A method of administering radiation to a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor associated with a radiation device, a calculated dose of radiation for a patient;
- receiving, at the processor, a radiation location for the patient;
- receiving, at the processor, at least one of:
- a patient characteristic and a coded region corresponding to a patient characteristic;
- correlating, at the processor, the at least one of the patient characteristic and the coded region corresponding to the patient characteristic with a safe dose range of radiation at the radiation location for the patient;
- comparing, at the processor, the calculated dose of radiation to the safe dose range;
- and
- applying the calculated dose of radiation to the patient at the radiation location when the calculated dose of radiation is within the safe dose range.
A method of administering radiation to a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor associated with a radiation device, a color coded region corresponding to a value of a physical characteristic of the patient wherein the color coded region is included among a plurality of color coded regions;
- receiving, at the processor, information identifying a radiation location corresponding to a location on a patient;
- determining, at the processor, that at least one of contrast media and sedation to be given to the patient;
- determining, at the processor, at least one of a dose amount and a dose concentration of the at least one of the contrast media and sedation based at least in part on the color coded region;
- determining, at the processor and based on a size of the patient, a safe range of radiation for the patient;
- correlating the color coded region and the radiation location with a dose of radiation;
- providing the at least one of the contrast media and sedation to the patient;
- and
- applying the dose of radiation to the radiation location.
