Abstract: Main elements of the X-ray system of the Prometheus proton therapy complex are described. The system is integrated into the proton synchrotron outlet socket (exit cone), and allows X-ray micrographs and cone beam tomography of the patient body area of interest. The system is successfully used in clinical practice to verify the patient position immediately before irradiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
