Simple Equipment for Effective Utilization of a Proton Accelerator for Medical Purposes

Resumo

We propose the use of a proton beam from any type of accelerator and a complex system for transporting the beam into three procedure rooms not containing gantries with the aim of decreasing the cost and dimensions of large-scale radiotherapy centers and improving their quality. Each procedure room has facilities to select the direction of irradiation over a quite wide range, with active distribution of the dose into the target volume and use of a mobile tomograph at the site of irradiation.
