Optimizing the Aurora-RT Radiotherapy System

EF 2024-25 · 2024-05-01

Résumé
The firm's radiotherapy system combines an MRI system with a linear accelerator to provide high quality patient images to ensure they are properly aligned prior to delivering radiation therapy. This project will improve the efficiency of the MRI imaging system and develop robust patient registration. The system currently generates a 3D image as a single acquisition, which takes about 4 minutes. This will enable generating the 3D image as a series of 2D images to allow the user to see the first image almost immediately. This enables the firm to implement an automated registration process that will do a 3D registration based on three orthogonal images. The registration will occur in less than 1 minute, which will significantly increase our our imaging efficiency.

Description (French)
Le système de radiothérapie de l’entreprise associe un système d’IRM à un accélérateur linéaire pour fournir des images de haute qualité au patient afin de s’assurer qu’il est correctement aligné avant de lui administrer une radiothérapie. Ce projet permettra d’améliorer l’efficacité du système d’imagerie IRM et de développer un enregistrement robuste des patients. Le système génère actuellement une image 3D en une seule acquisition, ce qui prend environ 4 minutes. Ce projet permettra de générer l’image 3D sous la forme d’une série d’images 2D afin que l’utilisateur puisse voir la première image presque immédiatement. L’entreprise pourra ainsi mettre en œuvre un processus d’enregistrement automatisé qui effectuera un enregistrement 3D sur la base de trois images orthogonales. L’enregistrement se fera en moins d’une minute, ce qui augmentera considérablement notre efficacité en matière d’imagerie.
