Abstract
A radiotherapy system is disclosed. The radiotherapy system comprises an electron beam generator for generating an electron beam and a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field. In some embodiments of the present invention, the system further comprises a controller for controlling the electron beam and the magnetic field generators such that the electron beam is dynamically shifted and the magnetic field is dynamically redirected synchronously with the shifting.
Claims28
A radiotherapy system, comprising:
- an electron beam generator, for generating an electron beam;
- a magnetic field generator, for generating a magnetic field;
- and
- a controller for controlling said electron beam and said magnetic field generators, such that said electron beam is dynamically shifted and said magnetic field is dynamically redirected synchronously with said shifting.

- a magnetic field generator, for generating a magnetic field;
- wherein said magnetic field is a multipole magnetic field.
7-8. (canceled)
A method of radiotherapy, comprising:
- directing an electron beam to a surface of a living body;
- generating a magnetic field within said living body;
- and
- dynamically shifting said electron beam and, synchronously with said shifting, dynamically redirecting said magnetic field.
