Figure 1
The DynamicMRT system and its main components are illustrated. The beam-shaping apparatus consists of the beam-defining aperture, the multileaf collimator and the interchangeable masks. The positioning stage is responsible for moving the sample whilst the scanning wedge (the large aluminium body) vertically moves the sample and the masks in unison. The kilovoltage X-ray tube and flat-panel detector are used for acquiring images of the sample for image guidance purposes. The IMBL coordinate system is included for reference. |
