Résumé
The Aurora-RT combines an MRI system to provide high quality patient images to ensure they are properly aligned prior to delivering the radiation. This project will develop real time imaging during the treatment. The Aurora-RT will monitor the tumor position and if it moves outside of the treatment field, the beam will pause until the tumor returns to its proper location, then the delivery will continue. This is called “beam gating”. The project will also implement an advanced treatment beam modulation system called VMAT, in which the gantry rotates during treatment delivery, and the system will adjust the multi-leaf collimator position and dose rate throughout the rotation to deliver the optimal radiation dose to the patient.

This project will develop real time imaging during the treatment. The Aurora-RT will monitor the tumor position and if it moves outside of the treatment field, the beam will pause until the tumor returns to its proper location, then the delivery will continue.

Description (French)
L’Aurora-RT combine un système d’IRM pour fournir des images de haute qualité du patient afin de s’assurer qu’il est correctement aligné avant de délivrer le rayonnement. Ce projet permettra de développer l’imagerie en temps réel pendant le traitement. L’Aurora-RT surveillera la position de la tumeur et si elle se déplace en dehors du champ de traitement, le faisceau s’arrêtera jusqu’à ce que la tumeur revienne à sa position correcte, puis l’irradiation continuera. C’est ce qu’on appelle le «beam gating». Le projet mettra également en œuvre un système avancé de modulation du faisceau de traitement appelé VMAT, dans lequel le portique tourne pendant l’administration du traitement, et le système ajustera la position du collimateur multi-lames et le débit de dose tout au long de la rotation pour délivrer la dose de rayonnement optimale au patient.
