Patent ID: 8449184

Claim:
A robotized system ( 1 ) for positioning a patient with respect to at least one source of a particle beam, comprising: two robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ), said robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ) having six axes of rotation and a horizontal translation axis; a treatment couch ( 5 ) for the patient permanently connected to ends of said robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ), said treatment couch ( 5 ) adapted to axially rotate by 360° around a line joining the ends of the robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ); and a logic unit which controls and coordinates movements of the two robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ), wherein, each robotized arm ( 3 , 4 ) is movable along a respective linear guide ( 31 , 32 ) fixed to the floor ( 11 ), to the ceiling ( 10 ) or to a wall of the room wherein the robotized system ( 1 ) is installed, said at least one source is fixed and outputs a particle beam always comprised within the space between the ends of the two robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ), the treatment couch ( 5 ) being apt to be positioned in any position of the space comprised between the two robotized arms ( 3 , 4 ).
