ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device (1) for irradiating tissue, especially tumors. The device comprises one radiation source (2) (accelerator), the primary radiation (6) thereof leading to at least one radiation head (3). The radiation source (2) and radiation head (3) are arranged in a housing and the radiation emitted from the radiation head (3) hits the tissue. A plurality of radiation heads (3) are arranged in a fixed manner in the housing.
