The radiotherapy apparatus in the present invention includes a bed, a
radiation irradiating head, head swing mechanisms, a precise inspection
unit and a control unit. The bed carries a subject. The radiation
irradiating head irradiates a treatment radiation to a treatment field of
the subject. The head swing mechanisms, which are coupled to the
radiation irradiating head, swings the head of the radiation irradiating
head so that the treatment radiation emitted from the radiation
irradiating head pursues the motion of the treatment field. The precise
inspection unit obtains a diagnosis image containing the treatment field.
The control unit controls the positions of the head swing mechanisms so
that an irradiation field of the radiation irradiating head pursues the
treatment field, based on the diagnosis image, the position of the
radiation irradiating head and the state of the swung head. Then, the
control unit controls the radiation irradiating head so that the
treatment radiation is irradiated from the radiation irradiating head,
after the positional control of the head swing mechanisms.
