Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a bracket of a radiotherapy apparatus. Background technique
[0002] Radiation therapy machines are used in medical treatments such as radiation to treat diseased tissue, such as tumor tissue. Types of radiation suitable for this treatment include, for example, high-energy X-rays in the megavolt (MV) range, light particle radiation such as electrons or positrons or protons, heavy particle radiation such as oxygen ions or carbon ions. Living tissue is altered by radiation treatment: connections may be disrupted or atoms may be ionized. These changes can cause damage or kill tissue. While it is this effect that is consciously directed at tumor or diseased tissue, on the contrary, it should be avoided as much as possible on healthy tissue. Therefore, by treating only the tumor tissue with radiation as targeted as possible, the radiation dose administered in the tumor tissue is increased on the one hand and the radiation dose ad...
