AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing particle therapy systems, ridge filters suffer from problems such as introducing additional scattering from the substrate, high processing difficulty, poor radiation resistance of materials, and high manufacturing costs, which affect treatment efficiency.

Method used

The grid-ridge filter with a hollow grid structure achieves differentiated attenuation of particle beam energy by alternating inclined elongated slots and solid areas, thus broadening the Bragg peak and reducing the number of energy switching times.

Benefits of technology

It effectively broadens the Bragg peak, reduces the number of energy switching cycles, improves treatment efficiency, reduces processing difficulty and manufacturing costs, enhances mechanical stability, and protects normal tissues.
