Abstract

Alignment system for use by a user with a radiation therapy device and a radiation treatment plan for treating a target within a body of a patient and for aligning a position of the target within the body of the patient to a predeter mined position used in the development of the radiation treatment plan. An embodiment of the present invention includes an ultrasound probe for generating live ultrasound images of the target, a position sensing system preferably including a 3-D digitizer articulated arm for indicating the position of the ultrasound probe with respect to the radiation therapy device, adapted to provide a reference location of the target with respect to the radiation therapy device, and a computer having memory and a monitor with a screen associated therewith, and a radiation treatment plan stored in the memory.
