  • Ion radiation therapy system with variable beam resolution
    Patent number: 8154001
    Abstract: An ion radiation therapy machine provides a steerable beam for treating a tumor within the patient where the exposure spot of the beam is controlled in width and/or length to effect a flexible trade-off between treatment speed, accuracy, and uniformity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 10, 2012
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Ryan Thomas Flynn, Thomas R. Mackie
  • Ion radiation therapy system with rocking gantry motion
    Patent number: 8093568
    Abstract: A radiation therapy system for heavy ions employs a rocking motion of a fan beam used to treat the patient, the fan beam having individually modulated beamlets, the rocking limited in angular extent to provide improved conformance of the dose to a tumor while shielding distal tissue from radiation.
    Type: Grant
