Patent ID: 7769431

Claim:
A system for providing oncology patient radiation data, comprising: at least one external reader configured to telemetrically communicate with at least one chronically implantable self-contained radiation sensor in a respective oncology patient to obtain radiation data associated with a MOSFET in the at least one radiation sensor while the at least one implantable sensor remains in the patient, and wherein the reader is configured to inductively power the at least one sensor to obtain the radiation data, the at least one reader having a computer interface that allows the reader to transmit data to a clinician computer; and at least one clinician computer in communication with the reader via the computer interface, wherein the reader and/or the clinician computer calculates a radiation dose received by respective patients based on the obtained radiation data associated with a respective MOSFET for each of a plurality of different radiation sessions for verification of radiation doses delivered to a target tumor treatment site.
