An automatic collimator changer of a radiation treatment system.
Claims18
A radiation treatment system, comprising:
- a robotic arm;
- a linear accelerator mounted to the robotic arm;
- and
- an automatic collimator changer to automatically change one or more collimators of the radiation treatment system in coordination with the robotic arm, the automatic collimator changer comprising a collimator housing coupled to the linear accelerator and a primary retention mechanism to secure a collimator of the one or more collimators in the collimator housing, wherein the robotic arm is to move the linear accelerator to engage the primary retention mechanism.
