Systems and methods for providing radiation therapy and catheter guides

摘要: A system and method for the prevention of restenosis use a source radiation to treat blood vessel. An intravascular ultrasound imaging (12) generates images treatment volume from within computer based planner (20) acquires (12), reconstructs three-dimensional image volume. From dose prescription (28), calculates which optimize dose, also registers with voice recognition unit (36) allows medical personnel provide commands operating system. The may be placed cath-lab, enables plan dynamically changed on patient specific information. catheter guide (220) comprising markers (224, 226, 228, 225) determine precise orientation transducer, location transducer along length (220).
