Abstract
The invention relates to a radiotherapy assembly comprising a particle emitter () with an exit window () for a fixed particle stream () and a patient support device () comprising a patient couch (A,B), which can be brought into an irradiation position that is suitable for irradiating a patient () in front of the exit window (). An X-ray diagnostic device () determines or verifies the position of a tumour that is to be irradiated, said device () comprising an X-ray source () and a detector (), which can be displaced in the area around the patient couch (A,B) that has been placed in the irradiation position. The assembly permits the location of a tumour to be verified in the irradiation position, thus rendering a relocation of the patient unnecessary.
