1. A gantry for beam guidance of a particle beam, the gantry comprising:
- at least one beam guidance element that is operable to guide the particle beam;
a carrier device for the at least one beam guidance element, the carrier device being mounted such that the particle beam is operable to be directed by a rotation of the carrier device with the at least one beam guidance element from various angles onto an object to be irradiated; and
at least one moveable actuating element for adjusting a spatial position of the at least one beam guidance element,wherein the at least one beam guidance element includes a magnet system.

Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a gantry for the beam guidance of a particle beam with at least one beam guidance element. A carrier device is rotatably mounted in such a way that the particle beam can be directed by a rotation of the carrier device with the beam guidance element from various angles on to an object to be irradiated. At least one moveable actuating element may adjust a spatial position of the beam guidance element.
