Abstract:
1. A radiation therapy device comprising: a rotatable holder; an overhanging arm, from which a therapeutic treatment beam is operable to be directed onto an object to be irradiated, the overhanging arm being attached to the rotatable holder so that the overhanging arm is operable to be rotated about an isocenter, such that the therapeutic treatment beam is operable to be directed from different angles onto the isocenter; a holder ring that is arranged concentrically in a plane of rotation of the radiation therapy device, the holder ring being connected to the overhanging arm; an x-ray source for emitting diagnostic x-rays; and an x-ray detector of the diagnostic x-rays, wherein the x-ray source and the x-ray detector are operable to be moved along the holder ring so that a diagnostic x-ray image of an object to be irradiated is produced from a settable direction, and wherein the x-ray source and the x-ray detector are operable to be moved independently of one another.
