Abstract

A system and method are provided for delivering radiation therapy to a target inside the head of a patient. A first reference coordinate system is defined in relation to anatomical landmarks on the patient's head which are visible externally and in images of the patient. The coordinates of a target are translated from the first reference coordinate system to a second reference coordinate system. The second reference coordinate system is defined in relation to an external locator device that is attached to the patient's head. The system comprises a treatment cap, locator device, sensor, ultrasound transducer, holder, and a variety of computer readable media. Angles are calculated to direct radia- tion to the target from the external locations selected with the locator device. Further, a treatment cap is produced that fits around the patient's head and holds interface units at certain positions and orientations. Each interface unit includes a movable transducer holder that holds a radiation source, and by rotating the transducer holders by the calculated angles, radiation is delivered to the target.
