1. An X-ray apparatus as part of a particle beam cancer therapy system, said particle beam cancer therapy system irradiating a tumor of a patient with a charged particle beam during use, said apparatus comprising: an X-ray generation source located within forty millimeters of the charged particle beam, wherein said X-ray source maintains a single static position: (1) during use of said X-ray source and (2) during tumor treatment with the charged particle beam; and a synchrotron accelerating the charged particle beam, wherein said synchrotron comprises exactly four, ninety degree, turning sections, wherein the tumor is targeted using X-ray images collected using X-rays from said X-ray generation source, wherein the tumor is treated using the charged particle beam, and wherein X-rays emitted from said X-ray source run substantially in parallel with the charged particle beam.
