Abstract
A particle therapy system is provided. The particle therapy system includes a plurality of spatially-distributed, configurable systems, which are operable to be configured using configuration data, a central configuration server that is operable to centrally store the configuration data, and a network that connects the configurable systems, with the central configuration server. The configurable systems include a local copy of the configuration data. The local copy of the configuration data may be accessed and used to configure one or more of the plurality of configurable systems.

8. A method for configuring a particle therapy system that includes a central server, a plurality of configurable systems, a particle source for creating particles, an accelerator unit for accelerating the particles and for forming a particle beam, at least one radiation treatment station, and a particle beam feed unit for guiding the particle beam from the accelerator unit to the at least one radiation treatment station, the method comprising:
-
creating a local copy of configuration data stored on the central server for each of the configurable systems, where one of the configurable systems is a control unit for the accelerator unit and/or the particle beam feed unit, the control unit being operable to ensure that a particle beam is guide to the at least one radiation treatment station and has a desired beam quality, accessing configuration data, which is stored in the local copy of the configuration data of the control unit; and transferring configuration data to the accelerator or the particle beam feed unit.
