Abstract
A medical radiation apparatus has a beam source and a deflection apparatus, which can be activated by means of a data processing device according to a radiation schedule generated using a recording of tissue to be irradiated produced using a medical imaging diagnosis device, said data processing device being set up for data purposes such that characteristics of the radiation acting on the tissue according to different irradiation scenarios can be visualized in a common display.
Claims14
A medical radiation apparatus for irradiating a tissue of a patient during a course of a therapy, comprising:
- a medical imaging diagnosis device that generates a recording of the tissue to be irradiated;
- a beam source that generates a radiation;
- a deflection apparatus that directs the radiation to the tissue;
- a data processing device that activates the beam source and the deflection apparatus according to a radiation schedule of the therapy based on the recording;
- and
- a display device that displays a characteristic of the radiation acting on the tissue, the characteristic being determined based on a plurality of different irradiation scenarios of irradiation operations at different times.
A method for setting up an operating parameter for a medical radiation apparatus in a course of a therapy, comprising:
- generating a first imaging recording of a tissue of a patient to be irradiated;
- creating a first radiation schedule comprising the operating parameter based on the first imaging recording of the tissue;
- defining a first characteristic of the radiation acting on the tissue according to the first radiation schedule;
- irradiating the tissue according to the first radiation schedule for a first irradiation;
- generating a second imaging recording of the tissue showing a changed geometry of the tissue after the first irradiation;
- simulating a second radiation schedule based on the second imaging recording of the tissue after the first irradiation;
- defining a second characteristic of the radiation acting on the tissue according to the simulation;
- displaying the first characteristic and the second characteristic of the radiation in a common display device;
- changing the operating parameter according to the display;
- updating the second radiation schedule based on the changed operating parameter;
- modifying the second characteristic of the radiation according to the updated second radiation schedule;
- and
- irradiating the tissue according to the updated second radiation schedule for a second irradiation.
