Inner gantry |
摘要 |
A system includes a patient support and an outer gantry on which an accelerator is mounted to enable the accelerator to move through a range of positions around a patient on the patient support. The accelerator is configured to produce a proton or ion beam having an energy level sufficient to reach a target in the patient. An inner gantry includes an aperture for directing the proton or ion beam towards the target. |

1. A system comprising:
a patient support for holding a patient; a particle accelerator; an outer gantry that is movable around the patent support, the particle accelerator being mounted on the outer gantry and outputting a proton or ion beam; and an inner gantry comprising a track and an applicator mounted to the track, the applicator comprising an aperture for directing the proton or ion beam towards a target in the patient, the gantry being configured to move the applicator along the track through a range of positions around the patient so as to position the proton or ion beam at sub-millimeter precision. |
