Abstract

A system includes a first radiation source configured to provide therapeutic radiation in a treatment area and an automated patient transport configured to transport a patient from a preparation area to the treatment area, to position a treatment volume in the patient relative to the therapeutic radiation from the first radiation source, and to support the patient in receiving the therapeutic radiation. The automated patient transport comprises a first detector configured to detect a first patient positioning indicator located in and/or on the patient indicative of a position of the treatment volume.
