Patent

CA 2439330

A radiotherapeutic apparatus employs a collimator (52) set below a radiation source (50) and is adapted to move along an arc (54) substantially centred on the radiation source (50). As it sweeps the arc, the collimator (52) is adjusted so as to define the appropriate shape of radiation beam. A continuous sweep over the patient avoids edge artefacts and localised accumulation of leakage.

L'invention concerne un appareil radiothérapeutique utilisant un collimateur (52) placé au-dessous d'une source de rayonnement (50) et conçu de manière à se déplacer le long d'un arc (54) sensiblement centré sur la source de rayonnement (50). A mesure qu'il balaye l'arc, le collimateur est ajusté de manière à définir la forme adéquate du faisceau de rayonnement. Un balayage continu sur le patient évite les artefacts de bord et les accumulations de fuite localisées.
