Abstract
An example computer-implemented method for a treatment delivery system is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, to a surface guidance system, a first signal indicating that delivery of radiation is beginning to a region of patient anatomy, wherein the radiation includes a first portion and a second portion. After delivering the first portion to the region, the method also includes receiving a second signal from the surface guidance system, wherein the interrupt signal is based on a reference surface generated in response to the first signal, and in response to the second signal, halting delivery to the region of the second portion of the radiation.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for a treatment delivery system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a surface guidance system, a first signal indicating that delivery of radiation is beginning to a region of patient anatomy, wherein the radiation includes a first portion and a second portion;
- after delivering the first portion to the region, receiving a second signal from the surface guidance system, wherein the second signal is based on a reference surface generated in response to the first signal;
- in response to the second signal, halting delivery to the region of the second portion of the radiation.
A system, comprising:
- a treatment delivery device;
- and
- a controller configured to perform the steps of:
- transmitting, to a surface guidance system, a first signal indicating that delivery of radiation by the treatment delivery device is beginning to a region of patient anatomy, wherein the radiation includes a first portion and a second portion;
- after delivering the first portion to the region, receiving a second signal from the surface guidance system, wherein the interrupt signal is based on a reference surface generated in response to the first signal;
- and
- in response to the second signal, halting delivery to the region of the second portion of the radiation.
