  • Patent number: 9108046
    Abstract: A method of generating and/or providing data (28) for tissue treatment, in particular a tumor treatment, via a low-energy irradiation appliance (10) is described. Herein, the low-energy irradiation appliance (10) has a radiation source (14) for generating soft radiation, preferably of a radiation with a spectrum from 0 to a maximal radiation energy of 100 keV, in particular a radiation with a spectrum from 0 to a maximal radiation energy of 50 keV and an emitting device (15) for emitting the radiation to tissue, which is to be irradiated. The method is characterized by the following steps: physical data of the radiation source (14) is determined directly from leaving the emitting device (15); quality data of the tissue, for example the tumor tissue and/or the tissue (17) in the vicinity of the tumor, is determined; physical property data of the determined tissue is determined in connection with the radiation of the radiation source (14).
