Abstract
The present invention is related to a patient positioning imaging device for positioning a patient in a hadron therapy device provided with a rotatable gantry (). The patient positioning imaging device comprises a rotatable structure () provided with an extensible arm or foldable pivoting arm () arranged for connecting an imaging beam source () and an extensible structure or foldable pivoting structure () arranged for carrying an imaging beam receiver (). The rotatable structure () is arranged for taking CBCT shots of the patient while the patient is located in an offset position with respect to an isocentre of the hadron therapy device, said offset position being in the direction of a rotational axis of the rotatable gantry (). The rotatable structure () is arranged for being rotated while the rotatable gantry () remains fixed, and while the extensible or pivoting arm () and the extensible or pivoting structure () are in extended or unfolded position.
