Abstract:
The invention comprises a method and apparatus for treating a tumor, comprising the steps of: (1) a main controller sequentially delivering charged particles from a synchrotron along a first beam transport line, through a nozzle system, and to the tumor according to a current version of the radiation treatment plan; (2) concurrent with the step of delivering, generating an image of the tumor using an imaging system; (3) the main controller automatically generating an updated version of the radiation treatment plan using the image, the updated version of the radiation treatment plan becoming the current version of the radiation treatment plan; and (4) repeating the steps of: delivering grouped bunches of the charged particles, generating an image of the tumor, and automatically generating the updated or current version of the radiation treatment plan with optional intervening doctor approval.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:\n using control software linked to said main controller, the medical doctor intermittently verifying an observance of the method of treating the tumor in a time period of at least three back-to-back iterations of said step of repeating said steps of: (1) delivering grouped bunches of the positively charged particles, (2) generating the updated image of the tumor, and (3) automatically generating the updated version of the radiation treatment plan.
