摘要：
The invention comprises a method and apparatus for using a single robotic positioning arm to simultaneously move, relative to a proton beam path entering a treatment room containing the patient, both: (1) a patient support and (2) an imaging system. The robotic arm moving the imaging system and patient independently from movement of a nozzle system directing protons into the treatment rooms allows: simultaneously translating past the patient and rotating around the patient an X-ray source of the imaging system； translating a rotatable unit, of the imaging system, longitudinally past the patient on a translation guide rail； moving the patient support and the imaging system through at least four degrees of freedom relative to a movable proton beam； and/or simultaneous or alternating movement of the proton treatment beam and the imaging system relative to the patient.
