Abstract
An integrated computed tomography (CT) treatment couch system may include a base platform configured to couple to a rotatable floor component associated with a medical accelerator, a pedestal component mounted to the base platform, a treatment couchtop disposed on the pedestal component, and a CT scanner device. The CT scanner device may include a support structure and a CT gantry. The support structure may be mounted to the base platform or to the pedestal component. The CT gantry may have a bore and may be oriented such that the bore is in line with the treatment couchtop. The CT gantry may be configured to generate on-line helical CT scans to guide radiotherapy provided by the medical accelerator.
