RTT Accelerator Technology Options Study

传统的和商业上可获得的放射治疗（RT）治疗系统利用耦合到磁控管或速调管RF功率源的S波段直线加速器技术，这总是需要将直线加速器结构结合在旋转机架内以用于周向患者治疗。本次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，利用最近的技术发展的频率范围以外的传统规定。驻波和行波直线加速器运行性能以及固态磁控管和速调管RF功率输送能力的进步，有可能能够定义一种新的RT系统配置，这种配置不仅可以超越性能，而且可以提供一种更简单、更有效和更强大的系统集成平台，可以更适当地应用于ODA国家开发。

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.
