<p>An apparatus for the linear acceleration of electrons, particularly for intraoperative radiation therapy, including: -- an articulated structure (51) for moving a radiating head (32) that comprises an acceleration structure (39) constituted by a plurality of cavities (26); -- a modulator for generating, controlling, and transmitting a radio-frequency (34, 36) to the cavities (26) of the acceleration structure (39); and -- processing and control devices (30) adapted to control the apparatus; the modulator (34, 36) is separate from the radiating head (32) and the connection occurs by virtue of waveguide means (38) adapted to carry the radio-frequency to the acceleration structure (32). <IMAGE></p> |
