    Abstract: A radiotherapy device can include a tilting apparatus for tilting a source of radiation, the tilting apparatus comprising: a plurality of guide rails comprising a first guide rail and a second guide rail and a plurality of carriages comprising a first carriage and a second carriage. The first carriage being translatable along the first guide rail and the second carriage being translatable along the second guide rail. The radiotherapy device can also include a support structure for supporting the source of radiation. The support structure being rotatably coupled to each of the first carriage and the second carriage. The first guide rail and the second guide rail can be angled with respect to one another such that translation of the first carriage and the second carriage along the first guide rail and the second guide rail causes tilting of the support structure.
