Abstract:
1. A method in a computing system for performing patient localization for radiation therapy, comprising: activating in the computing system a plurality of discrete software modules, wherein the discrete software modules provide at least two types of radiation therapy applications and each radiation therapy application is comprised of a different subset of the plurality of discrete software modules, and wherein the activating includes invoking a first software module that invokes a subset of the plurality of discrete software modules upon which the invoked software module has dependencies for a selected type of radiation therapy application; performing interactions between the activated software modules for the selected type of radiation therapy application; based on the performed interactions, performing patient localization for a radiation therapy session; and based on the performed interactions, performing patient tracking for the radiation therapy session, wherein the performed patient tracking is performed while a radiation dosage is being delivered to a patient.
