CA 2151493
There is disclosed herein a technique for carrying out stereotaxic radiosurgery or radiotherapy on a particular target region within a patient by means of a radiosurgical/radiotherapeutic beam of radiation which is at least intermittently directed along a beam path through the target region. One particular beam generating arrangement (20) illustrated is carried by a robotic arm (46) which is movable in at least three dimensions. In accordance with one embodiment disclosed herein, means (12, 12' and un-numbered mechanical means) are provided for moving the robotic arm (46) and beam generating arrangement (20) along a predetermined, non-circular and non-linear path traverse to the beam path while at the same time, the beam path is directed into the target region. In this way, the radiosurgical/radiotherapeutic beam can be directed through the target region from particular treatment points along the transverse path so as to define a non-spherical target region.
