DEVICE FOR GENERATING A MAGNETIC FIELD AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IT

Abstract

A radiation and magnetic field generating apparatus is described that irradiates photon beam radiation to the affected tissue of a subject's body, comprising a radiation generating unit that irradiates the photon beam radiation to the subject and induces the generation of secondary electrons in an area of ​​the subject where the photon beam radiation is irradiated, a magnetic field generating unit, provided to be inserted into a body, including an insertion structure to form a low-density space, and which forms a magnetic field in an area where the secondary electrons are generated, and a timing control unit that controls the formation of the magnetic field such that at least some of the secondary electrons move to the low-density space based on a relationship between an area where the photon beam radiation is irradiated and a location of an affected part.and controls the formation of the magnetic field in such a way that the secondary electrons move, avoiding the normal tissue adjacent to the affected tissue.
