ABSTRACT:
An electron beam therapy system and a facility for using an electron beam therapy system. In the preferred embodiment, the electron beam therapy system comprises a linear accelerator, microwave source, and associated electronics disposed in a housing. The housing is mounted on a positioning means such as a C-arm to direct the electron beam to the desired site on the patient. The entire housing and positioning means is mobile and may be moved to different locations in the facility. Connectors are provided at the different locations in the facility to connect the electron beam source to a central power source within the facility.
