ABSTRACT:
An irradiation apparatus is provided which comprises a fixed base, an irradiation head for projecting a beam of radiation, and a support structure for the irradiation head. The support structure includes a first support carried by the base and adapted for rotation about a horizontal axis, a second support carried by the first support and adapted for rotation about an axis which extends perpendicular to the horizontal axis and intersects with the horizontal axis to define an isocenter thereat. The irradiation head is fixed to said second support. The irradiation apparatus further comprises a balancing mechanism. The balancing mechanism includes a balance weight fixedly mounted to the second support. The balance weight is positioned such that the second support, the irradiation head, and the balance weight have a center of gravity substantially coincident with the isocenter.
