[0035] In this embodiment, a gamma-ray focused radiotherapy and MRI stereotactic integrated machine is provided, including an MRI imaging mechanism, a treatment head mechanism, and a treatment bed mechanism. The MRI imaging mechanism includes a magnetizer 11 and a magnetic pole. A mounting cavity is formed in the middle of the magnetizer 11, and the treatment head mechanism is arranged in the mounting cavity. The treatment bed mechanism is connected to the magnetizer 11 and can rotate relative to the magnetizer 11.

[0038] Furthermore, a shielding mechanism 3 is provided outside the installation cavity, and the shielding mechanism is installed on the magnetic conductor 11; in an emergency state, the shielding mechanism 3 is operated to adjust the shielding mechanism 3 to a closed state. In a treatment scenario: the shielding mechanism is in an open state relative to the cavity, and in a non-treatment scenario, the shielding mechanism is in a closed state relative to the cavity, that is, by adjusting the position of the shielding mechanism, different effects in treatment scenarios, non-treatment scenarios and emergency states can be automatically achieved, without the need for other mechanisms or manual position adjustment, which improves the treatment efficiency while also reducing radiation damage to the human body.

[0039] Specifically, the shielding mechanism 3 includes a shielding door 304, which is also connected to a driving mechanism for driving the shielding door 304 to move; it also includes a shielding door motor 301 and a shielding door screw 307, and the shielding door screw 307 is a self-locking T-shaped thread. When the shielding door screw 307 is stationary, it can support the slider and prevent the shielding door screw nut 303 from moving downward under the action of gravity.

[0040] The shielding door 304 is slidably connected to the magnetic conductor 11; and a shielding block 309 is installed on the shielding door 304; a slider is connected to the rear end of the shielding door 304, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail 308, and the guide rail 308 is installed on the equipment. A shielding door screw nut 303 is fixed to the side end of the shielding door 304, and the shielding door screw nut 303 is connected to the shielding door screw 307, and the shielding door screw 307 is installed on the equipment through a bearing and a bearing seat.

[0041] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a shielding door motor 301 and a lead screw, and the lead screw is connected to the shielding door 304; the shielding door motor 301 drives the lead screw to move the shielding door to realize the installation chamber is in a closed state.

The two first pulleys 3071 are connected through the pulley synchronous belt 302, and the other first pulley 3071 is connected to the shielding door motor 301. The shielding door motor 301 is installed on the equipment through a bracket. The shielding door motor 301 drives the first pulley 3071 to rotate, and drives the shielding door screw rod 307 to rotate through the pulley synchronous belt 302, so that the shielding door screw rod nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw rod 307, thereby driving the shielding door 304 to move up and down.

[0043] Furthermore, the shielding door motor 301 is a servo motor without a brake; the lead screw is a self-locking T-shaped thread, and the lead screw is connected to the reducer 305 and the handwheel 306 through a pulley; in an emergency, the handwheel 306 drives the lead screw to rotate and drive the shielding door 304 to move to a closed state.

[0044] Specifically, the lower end of the shielding door screw rod 307 is fixedly connected to the second pulley 3072 , two second pulleys 3072 are provided, the two second pulleys 3072 are connected through the pulley synchronous belt 302 , the other second pulley 3072 is connected to the reducer 305 , and the reducer 305 is connected to the handwheel 306 .

[0045] Furthermore, the shielding door motor 301 is a servo motor without a brake, and the shielding door motor 301 does not need to be installed with a brake mechanism. When the shielding door motor 301 stops, the second pulley 3072 is driven to rotate by turning the hand wheel 306, driving the shielding door screw 307 to rotate, so that the shielding door screw nut 303 moves along the shielding door screw 307, and then drives the shielding door 304 to move up and down. In an emergency, when manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, the operation is simpler, and the operation time is saved. The shielding block 309 switch transmission screw adopts a self-locking mechanism, and the motor does not need a brake. When manually closing the shielding block 309, there is no need to release the motor brake first, the operation is simpler, and the manual emergency source closing time is saved. During treatment, the shielding block 309 moves to the bottom of the collimator mechanism 14, leaking the collimator mechanism 14. When closing the source, the shielding mechanism 3 is operated to move the shielding block 309 to the front of the collimator mechanism 14 to realize manual source closing.

During non-treatment, the electric switch source mechanism drives the source switch 108 to turn the radiation source assembly away from the collimator 111, so that the radiation source 110 is in a shielding state.

[0048] Specifically, the collimator mechanism 14 includes a collimator 111, a radiation source 110 is arranged inside the collimator 111, a plurality of collimators 111 are arranged, and the plurality of collimators 111 are mounted on a support plate 1114. The radiation of the radiation source 110 passes through the collimation hole 1113 of the collimator 111 to form a treatment area outside the magnetic conductor 11. The radiation source 110 is placed in the box body, and the side wall of the support plate 1114 is connected to a slider, and the slider is connected to a slide rail, and the slide rail is fixed to the cavity 109. The side wall of the support plate 1114 is also fixedly connected to the support plate screw nut 1112. The support plate screw nut 1112 is connected to the adjusting screw 1111, and the adjusting screw 1111 is installed on the outer cylinder 102 through the screw bracket. The adjusting screw 1111 is connected to the motor, and the motor drives the adjusting screw 1111 to rotate, so that the support plate screw nut 1112 moves up and down, driving the support plate 1114 to move up and down, which can adjust the height of the collimator 111, and then facilitate the adjustment of the center of the treatment area.

The small pulley 113 is connected to the switch source motor 112, and the switch source motor 112 is fixed on the inner cover 104. The switch source motor 112 can move with the cavity 109, so that the shutdown shielding position of the radiation source 110 is different from the treatment working position, which can reduce the source loading amount of the radiation source 110.

[0052] Furthermore, the electric source-off mechanism includes a source switch 108 and a rotating mechanism. A radiation source is provided in the source switch 108. The source switch 108 itself has a shielding function. The source switch 108 is connected to the rotating mechanism.

The source switch 108 is connected to a rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism is fixed on the cavity 109. The source switch 108 is driven by the rotating mechanism. During treatment, the radiation source 110 is close to the treatment center, which is beneficial to improving the dose rate at the treatment center. During shielding, the radiation source 110 is far away from the treatment center, which can effectively reduce the thickness of the shielding body.

Preferably, the diameter of the through hole on the outer cylinder cover 103 is the same as the diameter of the source change hole 1091. The two ends of the cavity 109 are rotatably connected to the outer cylinder cover 103 through the bearing 101. The outer cylinder 102 is connected to the inner cover 104, and the inner cover 104 is used to be clamped in the cavity. At the inner end of 109, the inner cover 104 is connected to the first large gear 107 through a rotating shaft, the first large gear 107 is meshed with the first small gear 106, the first small gear 106 is connected to the motor 105, and the motor 105 is fixed on the magnetizer 11. Starting the motor 105 drives the first small gear 106 to rotate, drives the first large gear 107 to rotate, drives the first large gear 107, and drives the first large gear 107, the inner cover 104, the cavity 109 and the radiation source 110 to rotate, which is used to adjust the horizontal angle of the radiation source 110 to achieve focusing of the radiation source 110 to the center of the treatment area from different directions.

[0057] The source changing mechanism includes a stopper 116 and a shielding plug 117. In the non-treatment state, the axis of the shielding plug 117 is concentric with the radiation source assembly. By removing the shielding plug 117, the radiation source assembly can be taken out by tools. The source changing mechanism is used to replace the radiation source.
