ABSTRACT:
A support and radiation therapy system is provided. The support includes an elongated support arm that is longitudinally adjustable. A first arm is rotatable in the support arm about a first axis that is perpendicular to the support arm. A flat detector is rotatable in the first arm about a second axis that is parallel to the first axis. The detector is essentially parallel to the support arm. A motor is operative to drive the rotation of the first arm. A first gear is operative to rotate the first arm and is connected to the motor. A second gear is operative to rotate the detector and is connected to the motor. The second gear is operative to rotate contrary to the first gear.
