  • Rotational flatness improvement
    Patent number: 6158708
    Abstract: A radiation treatment apparatus (10) including a stand (12), a gantry (14) movably supported on the stand (12), the gantry (14) having a vertical section (16) and a generally linear cantilevered strut section (18), the cantilevered strut section (18) having a supported end adjacent the vertical section (16) and a projecting end opposite the supported end, a substantially linear particle accelerator (30) disposed within and longitudinally supported in generally parallel relationship with the cantilevered strut section (18), the accelerator (30) having a predetermined injection point (32) where particles are launched in the accelerator and a predetermined exit point (34) where the particles are discharged from the accelerator, a treatment head (22) coupled to the remote end of the cantilevered strut section proximate the exit point (34), the treatment head (22) for emitting a radiation beam (27), and a tuneable stiffening apparatus (40) attached to the accelerator (30) for substantially maintaining alignment be
