Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a particle therapy system having an accelerator unit for providing a particle beam and having a particle beam transport system for guiding the particle beam. The particle beam transport system has a first subarea by which the particle beam can be guided out from a level of the accelerator unit. A gantry-based radiation room is connected to the first subarea of the particle beam transport system. The present embodiments may also relate to a particle therapy system having foundations, where the foundations are dimensioned at one point such that a gantry-based radiation room can be retrofitted at the one point. In particular the foundations at the one point are located essentially at the same height as the foundations underneath an accelerator unit and/or underneath a particle beam transport system.
