Embodiment Construction

[0039] Figure 1 to Figure 3 A radiotherapy device 10 according to the invention is shown in . The radiotherapy system 10 has a radiation source arrangement 11 which is designed in particular to generate radiation for radiotherapy. A radiation source element 12 is provided for emitting the generated radiation.

[0040] In addition, in Figures 1 to 3 An applicator assembly 20 according to the present invention is shown in FIG. The applicator device is used for irradiating a body cavity, for example for irradiating the vagina or rectum. Firstly, the applicator device 20 includes an inner applicator element 21 . The inner applicator element has a foot area 22 for receiving elements of the radiation therapy device 10 . In addition, the inner applicator element 21 has a cylindrical guide area 23 adjoining the foot area 22 . Additionally, the applicator assembly 20 also has an outer applicator element 24 . The outer applicator element 24 also has a foot region 25 and a cylin...

Abstract

The device (20) has an inner applicator element (21) comprising a base region (22) and attached to a radiation source device (11) by the base region. An outer applicator element (24) is formed with respect to the inner applicator element, and comprises an accommodation space for accommodating a component of the inner applicator element. The inner applicator element is sectionally guided into the outer applicator element. The inner applicator element comprises a cylindrical guiding region (23) that is guided into a cylindrical guiding region (26) of the outer applicator element.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention firstly relates to an applicator device for radiation therapy, which comprises at least one first applicator element for receiving a probe device or a radiation source element of a radiation therapy system. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a radiotherapy device. Background technique [0002] The invention is particularly in the field of radiotherapy, especially in relation to the irradiation of tumors and the like. [0003] Typically, radiotherapy equipment includes a radiation source arrangement which, in operation, generates radiation, such as X-ray radiation. The generated radiation is directed via a probe device or a radiation source element to the location to be irradiated. So-called applicator devices are usually used for this purpose. [0004] The applicator arrangement comprises, for example, an applicator element which is designed to accommodate a probe arrangement or a radiation source element of a radiotherapy syst...
