Linear accelerator, cone beam CT system
An image-guided linear accelerator with a cone beam CT system integrated into the treatment delivery system (black arrow). This system is equipped with a robotic positioning couch (yellow arrow) that is capable of shifting the patient with 6 degrees of freedom—pitch, roll, yaw, and vertical, lateral, and horizontal planes—to align the treatment beam to the intended target within the patient’s anatomy. Note how the table is pitched and rolled.
