Radiation delivery system with gantry for linac treatment beam
The patent application US20230390588A1 describes a radiation delivery system that includes a gantry capable of continuous rotation along one or more axes, a linear accelerator (LINAC) to generate a treatment beam, an external system with a processor positioned off the gantry, and a rotary joint to provide a physical connection from the LINAC to the external system for transporting cooling liquid or air. The system can also incorporate a computerized tomography (CT) system for scans and deliver non-coplanar treatment beams by pivoting the LINAC out of the gantry's rotation plane.
The external system, which can include components like a klystron or magnetron, supplies electromagnetic waves to the LINAC via the rotary joint, adjusts high-voltage pulses for producing adjusted electromagnetic waves, provides fluid at a determined temperature, supplies energy, creates timing instructions, and protects components from signal reflections. The method outlined in the patent involves the physical connection of the radiation delivery system to transport cooling liquid or air from the external system to the LINAC during continuous rotation, generating the treatment beam. The system's versatility in delivering multiple rotations, adjusting electromagnetic waves, and providing various functionalities through the external system highlights its potential for precise and efficient radiation therapy applications.
