System and methods for treating patients using radiation
First Claim
1. A radiation system, comprising:
- a structure having a first side, a second side, a first opening located on the first side, and a bore that extends from the first opening in a direction that is towards the second side;
a radiation source coupled to the structure; and
a patient support configured to position a part of a patient from a first operative position that is associated with the radiation source to a second operative position that is outside the bore, or vice versa, the first operative position being in the bore;
wherein the first operative position comprises a treatment space aimed at by the radiation source, and wherein the second operative position comprises an imaging space.

Abstract
A radiation system includes a radiation source having an accelerator, the radiation source having a magnetic field associated therewith that is resulted from an operation of the accelerator, and a magnetic field source configured to provide a compensating magnetic field to at least partially counteract against the magnetic field that is resulted from the operation of the accelerator. A radiation system includes a radiation device having a radiation source, a patient support, and a protective guard located between the radiation source and the patient support, wherein the protective guard is moveably coupled to the radiation device or the patient support. A radiation system includes a particle generator for generating a particle, an accelerator for accelerating the particle, and a magnetic source for changing a trajectory of the particle, wherein the magnetic source comprises a permanent magnet.

25. A radiation method, comprising:
-
delivering radiation towards a patient, wherein the delivering of the radiation is performed using a radiation machine, wherein the radiation machine comprises a structure having a first side, a second side, a first opening located on the first side, and a bore that extends from the first opening in a direction that is towards the second side, and wherein the radiation machine further comprises a radiation source coupled to the structure; and moving a portion of the patient from a first operative position that is associated with the radiation machine to a second operative position that is outside the bore, or vice versa, the first operative position being in the bore; wherein the first operative position comprises a treatment space aimed at by the radiation source, and wherein the second operative position comprises an imaging space. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
