Abstract:

Disclosed herein are methods, systems and therapeutics concerning radiotherapy of microscopic disease based on realtime imaging. The system comprises an intra-corporeal component and an extra-corporeal component. The intra-corporeal component comprises a detector/imaging subunit and a treatment subunit, where both subunits are placed in a cavity of a patient. The extra-corporeal component comprises a detector that is placed outside any cavity of the patient. Through this system, a treatment can be applied to a target tissue in a patient concurrently or within a short period time to signal detections.
