Abstract
A non-invasive medical treatment installation has a therapy C-arm mounted on a base, and defining an isocenter. A therapy apparatus having a focus is mounted at the free end of a carrier arm, that has a fixed end attached to the therapy C-arm. The mounting of the fixed end of the carrier arm to the therapy C-arm allows orbital movement of the carrier arm along the therapy C-arm between two final positions respectively delimited by the opposite ends of the C-arm. The carrier arm is mounted to the therapy C-arm to allow rotation of the carrier arm around a rotational axis, so that when the carrier arm is at either of said final positions, it extends beyond the respective end of the C-arm.

A system for non-invasive medical treatment comprising:
- a base;
- a therapy C-arm supported by said base and defining an isocenter;
- a therapy apparatus that admits therapeutic energy directed to a focus;
- a carrier arm having a fixed end mounted to said therapy C-arm for orbital movement between two end positions respectively limited by opposite ends of said therapy C-arm, and having a free end at which said therapy apparatus is attached;
- and
- said carrier arm being mounted to said therapy C-arm for rotation around a rotation axis allowing said carrier arm, when positioned at either of said opposite end positions, to extend beyond the respective end of said therapy C-arm.
