A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement. Such systems can further include an imaging system to accurately deliver radiation to the treatment target and automatically make corrections needed to maintain the anatomical target at the system isocenter. Various subsystems to automate controlled and coordinated movement of the movable shield components and operation of the treatment related subsystems to optimize performance and ensure safety are also provided.

A dose management device manages dose information of radiation doses in radiation events where radiographic images are generated in response to radiation on a subject. The dose management device includes a controller that acquires a target piece of the dose information, identifies a radiographic image corresponding to the target piece based on correspondence between each of the radiographic images and a piece of the dose information in a radiation event in which the radiographic images are generated, and outputs the identified radiographic image.
