First Claim
Patent Images
1. A particle therapy system comprising:
- a gantry that is rotatable relative to a patient position;
a particle accelerator mounted to the gantry, the particle accelerator for outputting a particle beam essentially directly to the patient position; and
a control system to generate machine instructions for configuring one or more operational characteristics of the particle therapy system, at least one of the operational characteristics relating to, or being affected by, a rotational angle of the gantry relative to the patient position.

Abstract
An example particle therapy system includes the following: a gantry that is rotatable relative to a patient position; a particle accelerator mounted to the gantry, where the particle accelerator is for outputting a particle beam essentially directly to the patient position; and a control system to receive a prescription and to generate machine instructions for configuring one or more operational characteristics of the particle therapy system. At least one of the operational characteristics relates to a rotational angle of the gantry relative to the patient position.
