Abstract
A medical examination and treatment system comprises a radiation source that emits particle radiation, an X-ray emitter located on one side of a target volume and diametrically opposite to the radiation source, and a detector located between the target volume and the radiation source. The target volume is positioned to be exposed to the particle radiation. A radiation direction of the X-ray emitter is oriented opposite to a radiation direction of the particle radiation.
Claims13
A medical examination and treatment system comprising:
- a radiation source operable to emit particle radiation;
- an X-ray emitter located on one side of a target volume and opposite to the radiation source, the target volume positioned to be exposed to the particle radiation;
- and
- a detector located between the target volume and the radiation source,
- wherein a radiation direction of the X-ray emitter is oriented opposite to a radiation direction of the particle radiation, and wherein the particle radiation is substantially unchanged by the detector incident from the radiation source to the target volume when the detector is located between the target volume and the radiation source.
