Carbon/proton therapy: A novel gantry design
A major expense and design challenge in carbon/proton cancer therapy machines are the isocentric gantries. The transport elements of the carbon/proton gantry are presently made of standard conducting dipoles. Because of their large weight, of the order of ∼100 tons, the total weight of the gantry...
