ABSTRACT:
A soft docking system is provided for a medical treatment system, such as an intraoperative electron beam therapy system. The medical treatment system includes a treatment head, an applicator having a fixed position relative to a patient and apparatus for adjusting the position of the treatment head relative to the applicator. The soft docking system includes one or more sensing assemblies for sensing a position of the treatment head relative to the applicator and providing one or more position signals representative thereof, and a display responsive to the position signals for indicating the position of the treatment head relative to the applicator. The position of the treatment head may be adjusted so that the display indicates a desired postion. The docking system may provide an interlock signal to prevent application of the electron beam until the treatment head and the applicator are correctly aligned.
