Treatment station for particle therapy
First Claim
1. A treatment station for particle therapy of a patient comprising:
- an apparatus for adjusting a particle beam parameter of a particle beam of a particle therapy installation, the apparatus comprising;
a first beamforming element configured to adjust the particle beam parameter;
a holding unit that holds the first beamforming element and positions the first beamforming element as a function of an operating mode of the treatment station,wherein the treatment station has a first operating mode with a first particle type and a second operating mode with a second particle type, andwherein the holding unit positions the first beamforming element as a function of the operating mode of the treatment station, such that the first beamforming element is arranged in the particle beam in the first operating mode, and is not arranged in the particle beam in the second operating mode.

Abstract
A treatment station for particle bombardment of a patient is provided. The treatment station includes an apparatus for adaptation of at least one particle beam parameter of a particle beam of a particle therapy installation. The treatment station operates in at least two operating modes, with the treatment station being operable in a first operating mode with a first particle type and in a second operating mode with a second particle type. The apparatus has at least one first beamforming element, which is held by a holding unit. The beamforming element is designed for adaptation of the particle beam parameter. The holding unit positions of the first beamforming element as a function of the operating mode, such that the first beamforming element can be arranged in the particle beam in the first operating mode, and cannot be arranged in the particle beam in the second operating mode.
