Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of treatment room selection verification in a radiation beam therapy system. The method compares treatment room beam request signals with a beam path configuration signal from a switchyard which controls the path of beam travel from an accelerator to one of the treatment rooms. Upon agreement of the request and beam path signals, beam transport to a selected treatment is authorized.
