摘要：
The invention comprises a system for using common injector, accelerator, beam transport, and/or imaging system elements for both imaging, such as tomographic imaging, and positively charged particle cancer therapy. For example, a common output nozzle of both a tomographic imaging system and the charged particle cancer therapy system is maintained on an opposite side of the patient from an imaging surface, such as a detection plate and/or a scintillation plate, where the imaging surface is used in tomographic imaging and/or during cancer treatment with the positively charged particles to confirm position and/or orientation of the tumor. Common beam state determination systems, such as charged particle position, direction, energy, and/or intensity determination systems are used to enhance both the imaging and cancer treatment system.
