System and method for dose monitoring in an intensity modulated radiation treatment system

A system and method for radiation therapy delivery. A radiation therapy device according to the present invention is configured to monitor for instantaneous dose rate and accumulated dose even during conditions when the high voltage modulator is decoupled. If either the dose rate or the accumulated...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for radiation therapy delivery. A radiation therapy device according to the present invention is configured to monitor for instantaneous dose rate and accumulated dose even during conditions when the high voltage modulator is decoupled. If either the dose rate or the accumulated dose exceed a predetermined threshold, an interlock will be asserted to shut down the radiation treatment device.
