Since most of medical linacs use S-band frequency, so far, such linacs cannot fit to modern advanced treatment techniques such as Tomotherapy and Stereotactic radiotherapy, which allows physicians to locate the tumor position during treatment time and enable for beam modification based on the real time analysis. Therefore, a new generation of electron linac with the compact size, higher power, higher gradient that can supply the advanced requirements of cancer treatment has been become necessary. X-band frequencies range is one of the suitable frequencies range for design such linacs. In this paper we will describe the possible design of a X-band (11.424 GHz) medical linac with side-coupled standing wave structure which understudying in NERL, The University of Tokyo. We aim to couple the therapy machine to the Compton scattering tunable monochromatic X-ray inspection device to realize the simultaneous inspection/therapy. Detailed design and numerical results are presented.
