Abstract: The radiotherapy apparatus in the present invention includes a bed, a radiation irradiating head, head swing mechanisms, a precise inspection unit and a control unit. The bed carries a subject. The radiation irradiating head irradiates a treatment radiation to a treatment field of the subject. The head swing mechanisms, which are coupled to the radiation irradiating head, swings the head of the radiation irradiating head so that the treatment radiation emitted from the radiation irradiating head pursues the motion of the treatment field. The precise inspection unit obtains a diagnosis image containing the treatment field. The control unit controls the positions of the head swing mechanisms so that an irradiation field of the radiation irradiating head pursues the treatment field, based on the diagnosis image, the position of the radiation irradiating head and the state of the swung head.

Abstract: A radiotherapy apparatus comprising an irradiation head having a linear accelerator and an intra-head waveguide unit whose one end portion is electromagnetically connected to the linear accelerator, a supporting moving mechanism which supports and moves the irradiation head on predetermined first spherical coordinates, a microwave oscillator which generates microwaves to be supplied to the irradiation head, and which is placed in a stationary position, a fixed waveguide unit having one end portion electromagnetically connected to the microwave oscillator, and the other end portion positioned on the supporting moving mechanism, and a moving waveguide unit having one end portion electromagnetically connected to the other end portion of the fixed waveguide unit positioned on the supporting moving mechanism.

Abstract: A radiation treatment apparatus includes a guide and a support member. The guide moves a radiation generating unit along an orbit with a predetermined radius such that an X-ray emitted from the radiation generating unit may cross an isocenter. The support member rotates the guide about a turning axis passing through the isocenter. The radiation generating unit is moved along a spherical plane by the guide and the support member and applies the X-ray toward the isocenter in multiple directions.

Abstract: An electron beam emitted from an electron gun enters into an accelerator 8 through a magnetic lens and is accelerated by a large number of accelerating tube discs within the accelerator, resonance cavities formed thereby and a magnetic field supplied from the outside. Then, it is focused by a focusing magnet and enters into an energy analyzer and scanned by a beam scanner, and is irradiated as a beam onto a sterilization goods item. On the outside of the accelerator there is disposed a cooling jacket for making uniform the thermal expansions of the resonance cavities due to thermal load.
