  • Publication number: 20070018111
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a particle source, an RF power source, an accelerator waveguide, and an imaging device. The particle source is to generate a first injector current and a second injector current, the first injector current being less than the second injector current. The RF power source is to generate first RF power at a first pulse rate and second RF power at a second pulse rate, the first pulse rate being greater than the second pulse rate. The accelerator waveguide is to accelerate a first electron beam based on the first injector current and the first RF power and to accelerate a second electron beam based on the second injector current and the second RF power, and the imaging device is to acquire an image based on the first electron beam. The second electron beam may be used to deliver treatment radiation to a patient.

  • Publication number: 20070018117
    Abstract: Some embodiments include reception of a first instruction to enter an imaging mode, and, in response to the first instruction, automatic performance of at least one of: reduction of a focal spot size of a radiation beam, movement of a flattening filter out of a path of the radiation beam, replacement of a first target for photon emission with a second target for photon emission, or movement of a scatter-reducing filter into the path of the radiation beam. Embodiments may further include reception of a second instruction to enter a first radiation treatment mode, and, in response to the second instruction, automatic performance at least one of: increase of a focal spot size of the radiation beam, movement of the flattening filter into the path of the radiation beam, replacement of the second target with the first target, or movement of the scatter-reducing filter out of the path of the radiation beam.
