An image-guided irradiation system has a support stage, a stage-positioning assembly connected to the support stage, an x-ray source attached to a support arm in which the support arm is movable relative to the support stage, a flat-panel x-ray detector disposed proximate the support stage, and at least one of a collimator or an x-ray lens selectively disposable between the x-ray source and the support stage. The x-ray source is suitable to provide an imaging beam of X-rays at a first photon energy and is suitable to provide an irradiation beam of X-rays at a second photon energy. The collimator or x-ray lens is structured and arranged to define at least a width of the irradiation beam when it is disposed between the x-ray source and the support stage while the x-ray source is in operation.
