Abstract:
1. A method for providing radiation treatment to a patient having a body, the method comprising: detecting, by a computer system, a position of each of a plurality of sensors of the patient's body at a current physical position of the body, the positions of the sensors being determined with respect to a reference point having a known spatial relationship to a radiation beam assembly, the radiation beam assembly configured to provide a radiation beam; determining, by the computer system, relative positions of the sensors with respect to each other; defining, by the computer system, a current multidimensional data point from the relative positions of the sensors, the current multidimensional data point corresponding to the current physical position of the body; using, by the computer system, a first mapping model that maps an input of the current multidimensional data point of the relative positions of the sensors to a current relative location of diseased tissue of the patient, the first mapping model determined from a plurality of multidimensional data points representing different physical positions of the patient's body having different locations of the diseased tissue, the current multidimensional data point being different than the plurality of multidimensional data points, the current relative location of the diseased tissue being relative to the positions of the sensors; and using the positions of the sensors and the current relative location of the diseased tissue to direct a radiation beam of the radiation beam assembly to the diseased tissue.
