Abstract：Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) is a highly efficient platform specifically designed for research in the fields of radiation oncology and radiobiology. This platform possesses precise radiometers with gantries capable of isocentric, coplanar, and non-coplanar conformal irradiation. Based on the three-dimensional images acquired by the cone-beam computed tomography, the platform can perform “real time” treatment planning and irradiation, which assures timeliness for precise irradiation and research on small animals. The wide application of SARRP not only accelerates the bench to bedside translation, but also facilitates the development of radiation oncology and radiobiology.
