Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem that beam scattering caused by air is only one of the conditions for determining the beam size, Figure 8 The scanning irradiation device of the present invention cannot obtain the small beam size required for practical scanning irradiation
Although it is desirable to minimize the distance from obstacles that cause beam scattering such as the dose monitor 8 and the second beam position monitor 9 to the irradiation point, in Figure 8 In the structure shown, the distance shown cannot be reduced due to the function of the air gap

Embodiment approach 1

[0038] figure 1 It is an overall schematic configuration diagram showing the particle beam therapy apparatus in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. figure 2 It is a configuration diagram showing the particle beam therapy apparatus in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. exist figure 1 Among them, the charged particle beam produced by the pre-stage accelerator 16 and accelerated by the pre-stage enters the accelerator (synchrotron) 14, is accelerated to the required energy, and is emitted from the emission deflector 17 to the beam delivery device 15 until the irradiation device 18, and is irradiated to the irradiated object. The beam delivery device 15 includes a focusing electromagnet 13 and a deflection electromagnet 12 . Part of the beam transport device 15 and the irradiation device 18 are attached to the rotary gantry 19 , and the irradiation direction of the irradiation device 18 can be changed by rotation of the rotary gantry 19 (indicated by an arrow in the f...

Embodiment approach 2

[0050] Figure 4 It is a block diagram showing the particle beam therapy apparatus in Embodiment 2. A particle beam therapy apparatus generally used for cancer treatment etc. uses an X-ray imaging device or the like for specifying an accurate position of the irradiation target because the irradiation target is cancer or the like existing in the human body. The position of the irradiated object here requires three-dimensional position information. Therefore, two sets of X-ray imaging devices are generally used and arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other in the imaging direction. The X-ray imaging device includes: an X-ray source that generates X-rays; and an imaging tube that images the projected X-rays. The particle beam therapy apparatus according to Embodiment 2 includes two sets of X-ray imaging devices, each having an X-ray source 30 and an imaging tube 31, but the imaging direction of each X-ray source and the imaging tube facing it is arranged so that, as Figure...

Embodiment approach 3

[0053] Such as Figure 9 Scattering occurs when a charged particle beam encounters an obstacle, as shown in the schematic diagram of . Therefore, in order to minimize the beam spot size, it is ideal to eliminate obstacles that cause scattering. However, there are elements such as unavoidable structural obstacles such as the beam exit window 7 . The beam exit window 7 is the boundary between the vacuum region or the gas region and the atmosphere and is therefore necessary. With respect to the above-mentioned structurally unavoidable obstacle causing scattering, as shown in Embodiment 1, it is arranged as far as possible on the downstream side to minimize the Figure 9 For the distance r shown, such a measure is valid.

[0054] Considering this problem from another point of view, if the scattering angle can be reduced even for obstacles arranged at the same position, the beam spot size can be reduced. The scattering angle depends on the material and thickness of the obstacle...

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a particle radiation therapy apparatus configured to make a beam small in size. The particle radiation therapy apparatus is provided with an accelerator (14) for accelerating a charged particle beam; an irradiation device for irradiating the charged particle beam toward an irradiating subject, the irradiation device comprising a beam scanning device (5a, 5b) for scanning the charged particle beam; a beam transportation device (15) comprising a duct for securing a vacuum or gas region to connect from the accelerator (14) to a beam taking-out window (7) arranged closer to the downstream side than the beam scanning device (5a, 5b), and a beam transportation device (15) for transporting the charged particle beam projected from the accelerator (14) to the irradiation device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a particle beam therapy device used for cancer treatment and the like, and particularly relates to a particle beam therapy device that realizes scanning irradiation. Background technique [0002] Irradiation methods of particle beam therapy devices can be broadly classified into the following two methods: the wide-area irradiation method, which irradiates a beam to the entire affected part of the patient at the same time; and the scanning irradiation method, which irradiates The method scans the beam to irradiate. The scanning irradiation method includes a point scanning method, a raster scanning method, and the like, and they are collectively referred to as a scanning irradiation method in this specification. In order to realize the scanning irradiation method, equipment and control methods suitable for the irradiation method are required. The tip portion from which the charged particle beam is actually irradiated al...
