Abstract

The invention relates to a .gamma.-ray irradiation head for panoramic irradiation comprising a tungsten target revolving about an axis, and means for deflecting electrons around the same axis for producing photons in several directions either successively or simultaneously. When the beam of electrons is deflected in its entirety and when the impact zone moves on the target about the axis, the axis of the radiation lobe moves in the same way and permits irradiation according to a variable azimuth.
