Physics of rotating gamma systems for stereotactic radiosurgery.
TL;DR: This unit is capable of producing well collimated beams of high energy photons, suitable for stereotactic radiosurgery and has similar physical characteristics to those previously reported for the Leksell Model U Gamma Knife unit.

A high-yield pulsing system using the TORVIS negative ion source
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the design and performance of a high-yield injection system which uses the TORoidal Volume Ion Source (TORVIS) negative ion source developed at National Electrostatics Corp (NEC), a harmonic chopper and a double drift buncher.

Gating-by-rotation: a solution to the problem of intratreatment motion in helical tomotherapy
Jeffrey M. Kapatoes,Gustavo H. Olivera,E A Schloesser,D. W. Pearson,John Balog,K.J. Ruchala,R. Schmidt,Paul J. Reckwerdt,Minesh P. Mehta,Thomas R. Mackie +9 more
TL;DR: Rotation-gating is a feasible solution for solving the problem of intratreatment motion in helical tomotherapy thanks to its ability to image the patient and thus provide information (albeit motion-blurred) regarding the patient position during the non-treatment rotations.
