  • 3D HIGH SPEED RF BEAM SCANNER FOR HADRON THERAPY
    Publication number: 20210060358
    Abstract: A hadron therapy system that provides 3D scanning and rapid delivery of a high dose. Such systems can include a hadron source and accelerator with an RF energy modulator and an RF deflector that operate in combination to provide 3D scanning of a targeted tissue. The systems can include a permanent magnet quadrupole for magnification of the beam. The systems can include high energy hadron sources that utilize a multi-cell, multi-klystron design that achieves scanning of high energy hadron beams, for example a fixed energy of 200 MeV protons. Such systems can provide full irradiation of a liter scale tumor within one second or less.
