Abstract
A system and method for patient positioning during radiotherapy. The system can include a patient support structure configured to receive a patient during a radiotherapy process using a radiotherapy source to deliver a therapy to the patient when positioned on the patient support structure, a patient positioning system configured to adjust a position of the patient support structure relative to the radiotherapy source, a flexible actuator configured to secure the patient to the patient support and adjust a position of the patient relative to the patient support, and an imaging system configured to acquire imaging data of the patient, the patient support, and the flexible actuator during the radiotherapy process.
