Gantry
Note: For details on how to move the gantry with Manual and Auto motions using
the wireless hand-pendant, refer to Chapter 9. For details on how to move the gantry
with Manual and Auto motions using the remote positioning controls, refer to
Chapter 11.
Note: The rotating gantry is only available in a Gantry Treatment Room (GTR).
The gantry is capable of rotating 360° around its center (horizontal) axis with respect
to the nozzle (vertical beam) positioned vertically and pointed in a downward
direction, as illustrated by Figure 7-5. The gantry may be rotated clockwise from 0°
(12:00 o’clock) to 180° (6:00 o’clock) and counterclockwise from 0° (12:00 o’clock) to
180° (6:00 o’clock).
In Treatment session, the gantry angle scale is in the range of 0° (12:00 o’clock) to
360° (12:00 o’clock).
Throughout this guide, reference to the various positions of the gantry are made in
terms of both degrees and clock positions.
