Operating table

Abstract

[Problem] To provide an operating table on which a proton beam radiation therapy can be easily performed without having adverse effect on non-lesion sites and information related to a lesion site, said information having been specified with an inspection device, can be used as such in the proton beam radiation so that the proton beam therapy can be effectively performed. [Solution] An operating table (1) is provided with: a patient laying table (a means for laying and fixing a patient) (2) on which a patient (P) is laid and fixed in a required posture; a main body (3) for supporting the patient laying table (2); engagement pieces (an engagement means) (4, 4, ...) for detachably engaging the patient laying table (2) with the main body (3); and a motor (a means for controlling rotary driving) (14) for rotating the patient laying table (2) around a rotating axis in the head-foot direction of the patient and holding the same at an arbitrary rotation angle. If necessary, the patient laying table (2) can be detached from the main body (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating table capable of rotating a patient carried by taking the body length direction as the rotation axis and fixing it at any angle. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the use of radiation of particle beams such as proton beams and heavy particle beams has been continuously studied for the radical treatment of breast cancer. In the proton beam radiation therapy, in order to prevent the parts other than the breast from being adversely affected by the proton beam radiation, it is desirable to keep the treated breast as far away from the chest wall as possible. Hold and fix in a drooping state. On the other hand, when irradiating a proton beam or a heavy particle beam, the patient must be placed in a supine position. Therefore, in order to perform radiation therapy with proton beams and heavy particle beams, an operating table that can rotate the patient's body length as a rotation axis is required. [0003...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the conventional treatment bed described in Patent Document 1, since the platform on which the patient is placed is not provided with a mechanism for fixing a part of the patient's body, it is difficult to carry out treatment without adversely affecting parts other than the lesion. Problems with Proton Beam Radiation Therapy

In addition, since the base frame and the platform are integrated and enlarged, it is necessary to remove the patient from the treatment bed and transfer to another bed when receiving MRI and CT examinations, so it is difficult to perform radiation therapy with proton beams.
