Abstract:
1. A system for generating multiple simultaneous tunable mostly monochromatic x-ray beams for imaging, tumor specific radiation therapy, comparative imaging and image pixel analysis of an object exposed with multiple beams of varying energies and said system's spent electron beam generating X-ray for image guided all field simultaneous radiation therapy and whole body and container imaging and said system comprising: an electron linear accelerator generating a plurality of electron beams having multiple tunable energies; a plurality of laser beams having varying wave lengths interacting with the plurality of electron beams to generate a plurality of tunable monochromatic x-rays of variable energies; a short diameter circular or octagonal beam storage ring, which stores said electron beams and said generated tunable monochromatic x-rays; a switch which simultaneously switches a duration of the generated monochromatic x-rays to picoseconds in time; the plurality of tunable monochromatic x-rays are directed towards a plurality of treatment heads; the plurality of tunable monochromatic x-rays are simultaneously irradiated from the treatment heads to an object at different angles for imaging and radiation therapy; a plurality of stationary collimated detectors, which receive the plurality of tunable monochromatic x-rays irradiated from different angles, that are attenuated by the object; imaging the object with the simultaneously attenuated monochromatic x-rays detected by the plurality of stationary collimated detectors; and performing image pixel analysis.
