Description
Medical accelerators are playing a more and more important role in contributing to radiotherapy. So far, the medical accelerators are still too large and too expensive to be afforded by most hospitals. This paper introduces a conceptual study aiming to develop a compact hybrid medical accelerator by taking advantage of advanced beam dynamics concepts, new RF structures, and state-of-the-art technologies e.g. 3D printing. It seems to be promising that the investment of medical accelerators can be minimized, the cost/treatment can be reduced, and more people will profit from the accelerator-based radiotherapy.
