Particle beam irradiation system
First Claim
1. A system for treating an ocular tumor, the system comprising:
- a removable cone configured to transfer radiation from a treatment nozzle to a patient, the removable cone having a cone input and a cone output, the cone input being configured to receive the radiation from the treatment nozzle and the cone output being configured to output the radiation to the patient;
a collimator connected with the cone output, the collimator configured to collimate the radiation received from the cone output;
a light source connected with the cone and configured to provide a focusing point of an eye of the patient;
a camera connected with the cone and for monitoring a position of an eye of a patient; and
a base plate coupled to the input of the cone, the base plate capable of being mounted and un-mounted to the treatment nozzle.

Abstract
A system for treating an ocular tumor having a cone, a collimator, a light source and a camera is disclosed. The cone includes a cone input and a cone output and is capable of being mounted and un-mounted to a treatment nozzle. The cone input receives radiation from the treatment nozzle for the treatment of the ocular tumor. The collimator is coupled to the cone output and configured to collimate radiation received by the cone output. This collimated radiation is directed to the patient having the ocular tumor. The light source coupled to the cone. The light source is configured to provide a focusing point of the eye of the patient. A camera coupled to the cone monitors the position of the eye of the patient.

22. A method for treating an ocular tumor, the method comprising:
-
attaching a removable cone to a treatment nozzle, the cone having a cone input and a cone output; locating a patient between the cone and at least one x ray source; providing a radiation to the treatment nozzle, transferring the radiation from the treatment nozzle to the patient via the removable cone, wherein radiation emitted by treatment nozzle is inputted into the cone input and is then outputted to the patient from the cone output; providing x-rays from the at least one x-ray source to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
