1. A gantry system for a particle therapy system for irradiating a volume, the system comprising:
- a first beam guiding device rotatable about an axis of rotation of a gantry, wherein the first beam guiding device is operable to guide the particle beam so that the particle beam strikes a treatment location at a gantry incidence direction, and wherein the gantry incidence direction deviates from an axis of rotation and is variable; and
a second beam guiding device is operable to guide the particle beam to a treatment location in a second direction different than the gantry incidence direction.

Abstract
A gantry system for particle therapy system, therapy plan and radiation method for a particle therapy with such a gantry system is provided. The gantry system for a particle therapy system includes a particle beam. A first beam guiding device rotatable about an axis of rotation of the gantry guides the particle beam so that the particle beam strikes a treatment location at a gantry incidence direction. The gantry incidence direction deviates from the axis of rotation and is variable. A second beam guiding device guides the particle beam to a treatment location in a second direction.
