Devices and methods that allow a user to elect between performing treatment planning by inverse planning or to be accomplished by utilizing one or more parameters input that are typically associated with forward planning are described herein. The systems can be configured to produce a treatment plan in a single iteration upon initiation of treatment planning or in response to determining or receiving a target geometry. While the system may be used iteratively in an extensively interactive fashion, viable inverse plans can be generated with a single user interaction, such as a single click, or optionally with no click at all. Advantageously, the system can optionally allows a clinician to add or adjust parameters or constraints, for example in another iteration, to provide additional autonomy if desired.

Inverse planning device and methods for radiation treatment

A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement. Such systems can further include an imaging system to accurately deliver radiation to the treatment target and automatically make corrections needed to maintain the anatomical target at the system isocenter. Various subsystems to automate controlled and coordinated movement of the movable shield components and operation of the treatment related subsystems to optimize performance and ensure safety are also provided.

Imaging systems and methods for image-guided radiosurgery

Therapeutic radiation beam detector for radiation treatment systems

An array of force sensors for determining a position of an object, detecting motion of object, and tracking motion of objects in 3D space are described herein. In particular, an array of force sensors can be used to monitor anatomical motion during medical procedures, such as head motion during cranial radiosurgery, to maintain a desired alignment with the anatomical feature. Alerts can be posted to the medical machine operator and the radiosurgery system or scanner can make compensatory adjustments to maintain the desired alignment either after suspension of treatment or dynamically during treatment. Methods of detecting a position, movement or tracking motion of an anatomical feature are also provided herein.
