Radiation field shape detection from video stream images
The granted patent US12011616B2 outlines a computer program product designed to enhance the monitoring and analysis of radiation delivery systems through video stream processing. The core functionality involves receiving a video stream and extracting images that represent the radiation pattern generated by a radiation source. The system can utilize digital video signals from various sources, including monitors associated with radiation detectors or directly from the radiation detectors themselves. Additionally, the patent describes the capability to generate recorded video streams from the received video, allowing for further analysis and image acquisition.
Further operations include applying edge detection algorithms to identify the edges of radiation patterns, particularly in relation to multi-leaf collimators, which are critical for radiation therapy quality assurance. The system can compare the actual leaf positions with planned positions and calculate fluence maps and three-dimensional dose distributions based on the acquired data. This comprehensive approach not only facilitates real-time monitoring but also supports post-treatment analysis, ensuring that radiation therapy is delivered accurately and effectively.
