Abstract
A system for treating a target volume with ions includes an ion source configured to provide an ion beam for use in scanning the target volume in a first direction and in a second direction; a movable platform for supporting a patient; a motor for moving the platform relative to the ion beam; and at least one processor configured to cause rastering of the target volume by: scanning the ion beam across the target volume in a first direction; and controlling the motor to move a patient on the movable platform in a second direction.
Claims13
A system for treating a target volume with ions, the system comprising:
- an ion source configured to provide an ion beam for use in scanning the target volume in a first fast direction and in a second slow direction;
- a movable platform for supporting a patient;
- a motor for moving the platform relative to the ion beam;
- and
- at least one processor configured to cause rastering of the target volume by:
- scanning the ion beam across the target volume in the first fast direction;
- and
- controlling the motor to move the patient on the movable platform in the second slow direction;
- wherein the ion source is configured to provide an ion beam substantially symmetric in phase space.
