Problems solved by technology

However, although the optimized design of the electron beam target material, target thickness, and electron beam energy has been adopted, the Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of the X-ray pencil beam after the conventional electron beam target is in the source axis The source to axis distance (SAD) is about 3cm-5cm, which is too large for intensity-modulated pencil beam scanning, which cannot meet the needs of clinical intensity-modulated radiation therapy

Abstract

The invention relates to a honeycomb-type collimator for X-ray pencil beam scanning intensity modulation radiation therapy. The honeycomb-type collimator consists of all-blank collimator units and full-gear collimator units, wherein the all-blank collimator units can make X-rays pass through the all-blank collimator units, the transmissivity of the full-gear collimator units is not greater than 3%so that the X-rays cannot pass through the full-gear collimator units, four side end faces of each all-blank collimator unit are designed into trapezoid end faces traced to the target center (point)of an X-ray source so as to form four-faced focusing. The all-blank collimator units and the full-gear collimator units are arranged in the way similar to a bidimensional checkerboard to form a honeycomb-type collimator set. According to each all-blank collimator unit in the honeycomb-type collimator set, each X-ray pencil beam entering the all-blank units can be further collimated, so that the full width at half maximum of each beam is reduced to 3-8 mm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a honeycomb collimator for X-ray pencil beam scanning intensity modulation radiotherapy (X-PBS-IMRT) . Background technique [0002] Cancer has become the main killer that endangers human health, and it is one of the main diseases that threaten the health of our country. At present, radiation therapy is still one of the main means of treating malignant tumors, and about 65%-70% of tumor patients need to receive radiation therapy to varying degrees. [0003] At present, tumor radiation therapy technology has entered the era of 3D therapy from the era of 2D radiation therapy, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiation therapy (such as X-knife, Gamma knife (γ-knife) technology, etc., has entered the era of precise treatment characterized by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and guaranteed by image-guided technology (IGRT), which h...
