Patent ID: 7453984

Claim:
A system for radiation therapy with target recognition comprising: a first three-dimensional (3D) image target identification system for obtaining first target characteristics that contains morphological and spatial information, texture and intensity features of the target within a patient body; a second real-time 3D image target identification system for obtaining second target characteristics that contains morphological and spatial information, texture and intensity features of the target within the body aided by said first 3D image target characteristics; computation means for calculation of three-dimensional coordinates of a target region with respect to a three-dimensional radiotherapy system using said second target characteristics; irradiation means for radiotherapy mode adaptation in response to said second target characteristics and said calculation of three-dimensional coordinates of said target region; and a human-machine interface, independent of patient body position, providing visual feedback of target 3D position and share in real time to the patient responsive to the radiation therapy.
