"Systems And Methods For Multiplanar Radiation Treatment" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240207646).

A patent application by inventors Jonathan MALTZ and Johannes STAHL, assigned to Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co. Ltd., describes a system and method for delivering radiation treatment to a subject. The system includes a storage device and a processor that directs the system to define a preliminary trajectory, generate a treatment plan, decompose the treatment plan into a delivery trajectory, and instruct a radiation delivery device to deliver the treatment plan. The method involves optimizing the position parameters of various components, such as a collimator and multi-leaf collimator leaves, and performing collision checks to avoid collisions during treatment. The system aims to reduce unnecessary radiation to normal organs or tissues surrounding the region of interest. [Extracted from the article]
