INTERNALLY MOUNTED COLLIMATORS FOR STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY AND STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

A beam filter positioning device includes a first and a second axes operable to move a body supporting one or more collimators, one or more photon flattening filters, one or more electron foils, and field light mirror etc. The collimators may be configured to collimate radiation to define a treatment beam suitable for radiosurgery. A controller is programmed to control the servo motor of the first and second axes to accurately position the beam filters. Radiation apparatuses and systems incorporating the beam filter positioning device or assembly are also provided.
