| Zusammenfassung: | A radiotherapy machine includes a microwave powered accelerator to produce an energetic beam of charged particles, bending and focussing magnets to parallel scan the beam in a plane and collimators to make the resulting parallel scanned beam into paraxial rays of charged particles or X-rays. The beam is intensity modulated as it is scanned to control dosage spatial distribution. The subject is moved perpendicular to the scanning plane in order to treat a 3-dimensional shape. |
