Abstract: Presented systems and methods enable efficient and effective radiation treatment planning and treatment, including accurate and convenient transmission of the radiation towards a tissue target. In one embodiment, a workflow for applying an irradiation scheme involving multiple steps is utilized to provide modulation of a particle beam. The workflow can include development of a treatment plan, generating configuration information for a modulation component based on the treatment plan, fabricating the modulation component, and using the modulation component in a system that delivers a radiation dose in accordance with the treatment plan.

Abstract: A drive facility for a medical device comprises a housing, a first motor and a second motor, and a roller facility on the housing and at least partially accommodated in the housing, the roller facility including a roller element, wherein the first motor is configured to pivot the roller facility to pivot the roller element and the second motor is configured to drive the roller element.

Abstract: A system includes a gantry of a medical imaging device; a linear guide; a carriage system configured to detachably accommodate the gantry and supported in a movable manner via the linear guide parallel to a longitudinal direction relative to a base area; and a drive system configured to move the carriage system parallel to the longitudinal direction relative to the base area while the gantry is accommodated in the carriage system. In at least one embodiment, the gantry includes a chassis configured to move the gantry on the base area in a traveling manner relative to the carriage system while the gantry is detached from the carriage system.
