A controller may be configured to control the radiotherapy system.
Claims27
A radiotherapy patient platform system comprising:
- a radiotransparent patient platform coupled to a base, wherein the patient platform comprises an upper portion coupled to a lower portion;
- an axial drive system coupled to the patient platform, wherein the axial drive system is configured to move the patient platform in an axial direction relative to the base;
- a lateral drive system coupled to the patient platform, wherein the lateral drive system is configured to move the patient platform in a lateral direction relative to the base;
- a vertical drive system coupled to the patient platform, wherein the vertical drive system is configured to move the patient platform in a vertical direction relative to the base, wherein the vertical drive system comprises a first and second scissor element coupled to the patient platform;
- a yaw pivot coupling the upper portion to the lower portion at first ends of the upper and lower portions;
- a yaw drive system coupled to the first end of the upper portion, wherein the yaw drive system is configured to yaw the upper portion relative to the lower portion about the yaw pivot;
- and
- a pitch drive system coupled to the platform, wherein the pitch drive system is configured to pitch the upper portion relative to the lower portion about a pitch pivot.
