Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device and method that combines imaging and charged particle treatment for tumor treatment. The technical effect is improved accuracy and efficacy in tumor treatment.

Problems solved by technology

These particles damage the DNA of cells, ultimately causing their death.
Cancerous cells, because of their high rate of division and their reduced ability to repair damaged DNA, are particularly vulnerable to attack on their DNA.

example v

[0082]Still referring to FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, a fifth example of using the triode extraction system 210 with varying types of ion sources is provided. The triode extraction system 210 is optionally used with an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source, a dual plasmatron ion source, an indirectly heated cathode ion source, a Freeman type ion source, or a Bernas type ion source.

Example VI

[0083]Herein, for clarity of presentation and without loss of generality, the triode extraction system 210 is integrated with an electron cyclotron resonance source. Generally, the electron resonance source generates an ionized plasma by heating or superimposing a static magnetic field and a high-frequency electromagnetic field at an electron cyclotron resonance frequency, which functions to form a localized plasma, where the heating power is optionally varied to yield differing initial energy levels of the ions. As the electron resonance source: (1) moves ions in an arc in a given direction and ...

example vii

[0085]Still referring to FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, optionally and preferably geometries of the gating electrode 204 and / or the extraction electrode 206 are used to focus the extracted ions along the initial ion beam path 262.

example viii

[0086]Still referring to FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the lower emittance of the electron cyclotron resonance triode extraction system is optionally and preferably coupled with a downbeam or downstream radio-frequency quadrupole, used to focus the beam, and / or a synchrotron, used to accelerate the beam.

Abstract

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for tracking and / or imaging impact of a particle beam treating a tumor using one or more imaging systems positionable about the tumor, such as a positron emission tracking and / or imaging system, where resulting tracking / imaging data: dynamically determines a treatment beam position, tracks a history of treatment beam positions, guides the treatment beam, and / or images a tumor before, during, and / or after treatment with the charged particle beam.
