RTT Accelerator Technology Options Study

传统的和商用的放射治疗(RT)治疗系统使用S波段直线加速器技术，与磁控管或速调管射频电源相耦合，这总是需要将直线加速器结构整合到旋转机架内，用于周向患者的治疗。本活动的主题是评估各种不同的直线加速器和射频源配置选项，利用常规规定以外的频率范围的最新技术发展。驻波和行波直线加速器的工作性能以及固态、磁控管和速调管射频功率传输能力的进步，有可能定义一种新的RT系统配置，该配置不仅可以超越性能，而且可以提供更简单、更高效和更强大的系统集成平台，可以更合适地应用于官方发展援助国家的开发。

Conventional and commercially available Radiation Therapy (RT) treatment systems utilise S-band linac technologies coupled to magnetron or klystron RF power sources, which invariably entails incorporation of the linac structure inside the rotating gantry for circumferential patient treatment. The theme of this activity is to assess a variety of different linac and RF source configuration options, taking advantage of recent technology developments in frequency ranges outside of the conventional provision. Advances in both Standing Wave and Travelling Wave linac operational performance and solid state, magnetron and klystron RF power delivery capabilities, have the potential to be able to define a new RT system configuration which can not only outperform, but also may offer a simpler, more efficient and robust system integration platform which can be more appropriately applied for ODA country exploitation.
