Provided is a radiation therapy apparatus on which quality management is performed. The radiation therapy apparatus includes: a body unit; a gantry coupled to one side of the body unit and formed to be rotatable in at least one direction with regard to the body unit; a radiation irradiating head formed at one side of the gantry to irradiate a radiation; and a level control module formed at one side of the radiation irradiating head to measure a rotation angle of the gantry or the radiation irradiating head, compare the measured rotation angle with a rotation angle indicated by an angle indicator of the radiation therapy apparatus, and correct an error of the angle indicator.

Radiation therapy apparatus and quality control method for radiation therapy apparatus

A quality assurance system for radiation therapy equipment includes an image capturing unit installed on radiation therapy equipment and capturing an image of an indicating part indicating an operational state of the radiation therapy equipment, an image processing unit extracting an edge of the indicating part in image captured by the image capturing unit, a center point extraction unit extracting a center point with respect to the edge, and a quality evaluation unit evaluating quality of the radiation therapy equipment by tracking movement of the center point.

Quality assurance system for radiation therapy equipment, and quality assurance method thereof

A system for manufacturing a patient-specific applicator reconstructs a three-dimensional (3D) image by using a medical image of a patient, models an applicator structure for irradiating radiation onto a tumor tissue, based on a 3D image, generates printing data for 3D printing for manufacturing the patient-specific applicator based on the modeled applicator structure, and manufactures the patient-specific applicator based on the generated printing data.
