Multi-mode operation of a standing wave linear accelerator

摘要: The invention provides a scheme in accordance with which linear accelerator may be operated two or more resonance (or standing wave) modes to produce charged particle beams over wide range of output energies so that diagnostic imaging and therapeutic treatment performed on patient using the same device. In this way, diagnosed treated, results verified documented, without moving patient. This feature reduces alignment problems otherwise might arise from movement between exposure machines. addition, overall time, thereby reducing discomfort.
