Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing trigger information in medical radiology, comprises: receiving a first portion of breathing signal data; generating movement trigger information regarding a movement of a patient support structure relative to a radiological interaction area based on the first portion of the breathing signal data; providing the movement trigger information; receiving, after providing the movement trigger information, a second portion of the breathing signal data; generating radiation trigger information regarding a release of radiation towards the radiological interaction area based on the second portion of the breathing signal data; and providing the radiation trigger information.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for providing trigger information in medical radiology, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a first portion of breathing signal data;
- generating, based on the first portion, movement trigger information regarding a movement of a patient support structure relative to a radiological interaction area;
- providing the movement trigger information;
- receiving, after providing the movement trigger information, a second portion of the breathing signal data;
- generating, based on the second portion, radiation trigger information regarding a release of radiation towards the radiological interaction area;
- and
- providing the radiation trigger information.
A method for respiratory triggering in medical radiology, the method comprising:
- receiving a first portion of breathing signal data;
- generating, based on the first portion, movement trigger information regarding a movement of a patient support structure relative to a radiological interaction area;
- providing the movement trigger information;
- triggering the movement of the patient support structure relative to the radiological interaction area, based on the movement trigger information;
- receiving, after providing the movement trigger information, a second portion of the breathing signal data;
- generating, based on the second portion, radiation trigger information regarding a release of radiation towards the radiological interaction area;
- providing the radiation trigger information;
- and
- triggering the release of radiation towards the radiological interaction area based on the radiation trigger information.
