Abstract
Systems and methods for delivering coplanar and non-coplanar medical treatments are described in which a rotating member is engaged with an angularly displaced treatment ring including at least one treatment device, whereby rotation of the rotating member and the treatment ring or treatment device combine to allow non-coplanar therapy to be delivered to a patient.
Claims20
A medical treatment system comprising:
- a stand;
- a rotating member engaged with the stand and configured to rotate in a first rotation plane;
- a treatment ring configured to rotate in a second rotation plane, the treatment ring engaged with and angularly displaced from the rotating member by a tilt angle, wherein the first rotation plane and the second rotation plane are angularly separated by the tilt angle;
- at least one treatment device engaged with the treatment ring and configured to deliver therapy to a patient;
- and
- wherein rotation of the rotating member causes the at least one treatment device to follow a non-coplanar path for delivering therapy to the patient.
