Abstract

See full text

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for aligning a charged particle beam path for treating a tumor of a patient, comprising: a cancer therapy system comprising the charged particle beam path sequentially passing: from an injector, through a synchrotron, along a beam transport line, and through a nozzle; a first two-dimensional detector configured to measure a beam state of positively charged particles; and an integrated intelligent system configured to classify the beam state into a set of beam shape factors, the integrated intelligent system configured to correct the beam shape through application of a condition-action rule: (1) adjusting a first voltage delivered to a first magnet positioned in the beam line prior to the first two-dimensional detector and (2) altering the beam shape through application of a second voltage to a second magnet position in the beam line adjacent to the first magnet.
