Technical details and manufacturing context for Linear Accelerator (LINAC) Gantry

Definition
Within an Integrated Radiotherapy Treatment Planning and Delivery System, the LINAC gantry is the critical mechanical assembly that rotates 360 degrees around the patient's treatment couch. It precisely positions the radiation source (accelerator waveguide), beam shaping devices (multi-leaf collimator, jaws), and imaging systems (kV/MV imaging panels) to deliver conformal radiation doses from multiple angles as prescribed by the treatment plan. Its stability and isocentric accuracy are paramount for targeting tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Working Principle
The gantry rotates under computer control, driven by servo motors and precision bearings. It carries the heavy accelerator components, maintaining precise alignment of the radiation beam's central axis to the treatment isocenter (a fixed point in space) throughout its rotation. This allows for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and stereotactic treatments from any angle.
Common Materials
High-strength steel alloy, Precision cast components, Reinforced composites
