Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices and methods used in radiation therapy. More specifically, the present invention relates to tape for aiding in radiation therapy.
  • Radiation therapy is a type of treatment for abnormal or cancerous cells by directing high-energy particles or waves to the cells in order to destroy them.
  • Radiation therapy can include x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons. Since radiation therapy is a local treatment instead of a systemic treatment, having precision in radiation therapy is of the utmost importance in order to not affect healthy cells.
  • a patient lies on a table, and a clinician (radiation therapist) places a custom aquaplast mask over the patient. The aquaplast mask snaps into the table to immobilize the patient, which is critical to have as little movement of the patient as possible.
  • lasers that are located on the walls of the treatment room are used to align the patient to receive treatment in a desired area.
  • tape is placed on an aquaplast mask and a human (a clinician, for example) draws where lasers intersect horizontally and vertically.
  • a human a clinician, for example
  • radiation treatment is provided from radiation distributed from a linear accelerator that produces photons and/or electrons depending on the treatment protocol.
  • the human drawing in aligning the lasers can result in inaccuracies that can slow treatment procedures, require additional scanning and imaging, and worry the patient. [0003]
  • the present invention provides for a radiation treatment marker including a tape body and a mark on an anterior side of the tape body for aiding in lining up lasers in radiation treatment.
  • the present invention also provides for a method of performing radiation treatment, by positioning the mark of the radiation treatment marker at isocenters of lasers projected onto a patient's positioning form (such as an aquaplast mask), placing and adhering the radiation treatment marker on the positioning form once in position, and performing radiation treatment.

  • the adhesive is strong enough to stick well to the aquaplast mask 24.
  • the tape body 12 can be made of any suitable tape, such as, but not limited to, cloth, paper, plastics, microporous materials, and waterproof materials.

  • the mark 14 can alternatively be in the shape of the vertical line 20 or horizontal line 22 by itself, as shown in FIGURE 3, when using a sagittal laser that is a single laser and does not intersect another laser to align the patient.
  • the present invention also provides for a method of performing radiation treatment, by generally positioning the mark 14 of the radiation treatment marker 10 at an isocenter of at least one laser (when there are two lasers, the isocenter is where the lasers intersect, when using a cross mark 14) projected onto a patient's positioning form (such as an aquaplast mask), placing and adhering the radiation treatment marker 10 on the positioning form once in position, and performing radiation treatment. More generally, prior to these steps, the patient first has a CT scan in order to determine the target area of treatment.

  • the patient On the first day of treatment, the patient is escorted into a radiation treatment room and are informed of the process, duration, and are asked if they have any questions.
  • the radiation therapist must make sure to align the patient correctly according to the treatment plan. Once the patient is lying on the treatment table and the aquaplast mask 24 is in place over their body, the radiation therapist takes any necessary scans or images to ensure that the patient is aligned correctly according to the treatment plan. Once the alignment is performed, the mark 14 can be positioned and the radiation treatment marker 10 can be placed and adhered to the aquaplast mask 24.
  • the radiation treatment performed can be applying x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons to the patient.

  • the radiation treatment marker 10 of the present invention has several advantages.
  • human inaccuracy in drawing can be eliminated and time can be saved during the process because a clinician can simply place the radiation treatment marker 10 on the aquaplast mask where the lasers intersect. This can increase accuracy from 1 to 4 mm, and therefore ensure a higher success rate for the radiation treatment.
  • clinicians check if during filming that a shift of 1 mm can help make the treatment more accurate, and if it will, the shift is performed. This shows how important even 1 mm is in radiation therapy.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 can also standardize the work flow and eliminate a radiation therapist trying to draw perfect horizontal and vertical lines onto tape.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 eliminates the messy look of drawn on lines on the tape, which if not drawn in a perfect cross could possibly cause a patient and/or family member to worry or ask questions regarding the treatment.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 has a cross mark 14 that is computer generated with perfectly straight lines that helps put patient worries at ease as it gives a more clean and professional look to the treatment, and it is very important that the patient have the utmost confidence in their radiation treatment.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 can also be used in other applications in which alignment with a laser is desired.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 can be placed on an ALPHACRADLE ® (Smithers Medical Products, Inc.), which is used in pelvic applications like the aquaplast mask 24 to immobilize the lower body for radiation treatment.

  • the radiation treatment marker 10 can be placed on many types of positioning forms used in radiation treatment and therapy, such as those used for therapy for areas such as the breast, side, pelvic, head, central nervous system, neck and shoulders, and extremities.
  • the radiation treatment marker 10 can help in straightening a patient and also provide alignment in a similar method as above.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un marqueur de traitement par rayonnement, comprenant un corps de bande et une marque sur un côté antérieur du corps de bande pour aider à l'alignement des lasers dans un traitement par rayonnement. Un procédé de réalisation d'un traitement par rayonnement consiste à positionner la marque du marqueur de traitement par rayonnement au niveau d'isocentres de lasers projetés sur une forme de positionnement du patient (telle qu'un masque d'aquaplast), à placer et à faire adhérer le marqueur de traitement par rayonnement sur la forme de positionnement une fois en position, et à effectuer le traitement par rayonnement.
