ABSTRACT:
An X-ray therapy system with equipment for reducing risk that the radiation applied to a patient is other than what is intended. A radiation check is made in which a signal indicative of the radiation to be applied is compared with a reference signal, and/or a configuration check is made using sensors to automatically sense the applicator being used to apply the radiation to the patient.
