Figure 3
The IMBL preclinical radiotherapy system. In the front-right of the image is a kilovolt X-ray generator used for image guidance. In the background, from right to left (direction of the beam): beam-defining aperture, upstream beam monitor, collimator for spatially fractionating the beam, downstream beam monitor, small-animal positioning stage incorporating a conformal mask assembly and camera for visually guided positioning, and a flat-panel imaging detector. The beam monitors illustrated here are large-area thin silicon beam monitors. |
