Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application proposes a medical safety management system and method, specifically, a medical safety management system and method for improving the safety management process of neutron beam generation timing in radiotherapy techniques, thereby enhancing medical safety. Background Technology

[0002] Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an innovative radiotherapy for cancer that uses boron-containing drugs (such as those using amino acids as boron carriers) designed to specifically accumulate in the patient's tumor cells, while normal cells absorb less. When a patient receives epithermal neutron radiation, the tumor cells with accumulated boron-containing drugs absorb neutrons more readily than normal healthy cells. When the neutrons interact with the boron-containing drugs, a nuclear reaction occurs, producing lithium nuclei (…). 7 Li) and alpha particles, generating alpha particles and lithium nuclei ( 7 Li atoms have an extremely short range (about 5-9 micrometers) that can destroy tumor cells. This range is roughly equal to the diameter of a cell, allowing energy to be concentrated inside the tumor cells with minimal damage to adjacent healthy tissues. Therefore, BNCT treatment has advantages such as high selectivity for tumor sites, low toxicity, fewer treatment sessions than traditional radiotherapy, less burden on the human body, and faster recovery.

[0003] For BNCT treatment, neutron beam generation is a critical step. Because it involves radiation generation, each control unit must confirm the safety management mechanisms for each step to reduce the risks from neutron beam generation to output. The overall architecture of a BNCT medical system can be divided into two main subsystems based on the task: the neutron beam generation system and the clinical treatment system. The former generally includes equipment such as accelerators and cooling water modules, and is executed by the radiation control unit. The latter is the medical control unit, usually located in the medical staff control room, which is the patient treatment area. It includes the neutron emission outlet, patient positioning instruments, radiation safety control equipment, and patient treatment space. Medical radiologists typically operate this system as the primary operators, monitoring and controlling the equipment in the clinical treatment system to ensure that the dosage conditions meet the treatment plan.

[0004] As mentioned above, in existing BNCT medical systems on the market, one subsystem—the radiation safety control equipment in the clinical treatment system—typically includes radiation detection devices, alarm devices, and network servers. These devices are used to improve the efficiency of treatment and enhance radiation safety for on-site medical personnel. Generally, radiation detection devices are installed in medical facilities, such as accelerator rooms, medical personnel control rooms, and patient treatment areas, to collect ambient radiation levels in various areas within the facility. Additionally, alarm devices (usually bells, lights, or voice alarms) are installed within the medical facility to issue corresponding alarms and alerts based on the collected ambient radiation levels. Finally, the network server typically connects to the radiation detection devices and alarm devices to comprehensively determine whether to issue appropriate alarms based on the operational status of the clinical treatment system, neutron beam generation system, radiation detection devices, and alarm devices, or the collected ambient radiation levels, thereby reducing the risks associated with neutron beam generation and output.

[0005] However, despite the development of networked servers, alarm devices, and other related facilities in existing technologies, the core security of BNCT medical systems still needs to be discussed by returning to the mechanism and specifications of neutron beam generation, as well as the interaction methods, system architecture, and corresponding procedures of various control terminals. However, under current technology, there is still little literature discussing the security mechanisms of neutron beams at various control ports. The most obvious example is the inadequacy in the timing of interaction and corresponding control components between the neutron beam generation system and the clinical treatment system during neutron beam generation. The neutron beam generation mechanism remains under the control of the neutron beam generation system, while the clinical treatment system lacks control over neutron beam generation. This leads to potential concerns during the operation of the BNCT medical system. Clearly, there is still significant room for improvement in the security management architecture of current technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on the above reasons, the main objective of this application is to provide a novel medical safety management system and method to enhance the safety of BNCT medical systems. Through a clearly defined two-way information transmission mechanism and rigorous control allocation, it addresses the communication and control problems encountered during human interaction in existing BNCT medical systems. These problems can lead to unclear information and delayed critical decisions during system operation, which is especially dangerous in emergency situations. The main improved technical means include: 1. Request mechanism and decentralized control: When a "neutron beam generation request" is made, the clinical control terminal transmits a signal to the neutron beam control terminal. After confirming that all equipment is operating normally, the clinical control terminal is authorized to start the neutron beam, ultimately activating the accelerator terminal to control its operation and complete the neutron beam generation; 2. Rapid response to abnormal situations: If a patient or equipment malfunctions, any terminal can directly transmit control to "pause" or "shut down" neutron beam generation without waiting for delays caused by transmission delays between terminals, ensuring immediate response to the risk of radiation leakage. Therefore, the two technical approaches described above ensure that all terminals and subsystems in the BNCT medical system complete the corresponding safety checks, meeting the radiation leakage safety control requirements during radiotherapy. For a detailed explanation of the technical solution of this invention, please refer to the following description.

[0007] To achieve the objectives of this application, in a broad embodiment, the present invention provides a medical safety management system comprising the following system components: a clinical control terminal (which may be located in a treatment control room), having a clinical safety control module for controlling the operation of the treatment control room; a neutron beam control terminal (which may be located in a radiation control room), coupled to the clinical control terminal, for controlling the operation of the accelerator terminal, wherein the neutron beam control terminal further includes an accelerator safety control module; and a consensus mechanism module, coupled to the clinical safety control module, the accelerator safety control module, and the accelerator terminal, storing a consensus mechanism. When the clinical control terminal transmits a neutron beam generation request to the neutron beam control terminal, the accelerator safety control module and the clinical safety control module respectively generate and transmit a first key and a second key to the consensus mechanism module, enabling the consensus mechanism module to drive the accelerator terminal to generate a neutron beam through the consensus mechanism.

[0008] According to the present invention, the medical safety management system further includes a neutron beam planning module coupled to an accelerator safety control module. The module formulates a neutron beam plan based on medical needs and transmits a neutron beam generation request to the accelerator safety control module in the neutron beam control terminal for evaluation on whether to approve the neutron beam generation request.

[0009] To achieve the objectives of this application, the present invention further provides a medical safety management method, comprising the following steps: preparing a neutron beam plan; a clinical control terminal submitting a neutron beam generation request according to the neutron beam plan; an accelerator safety control module transmitting a first key to a consensus mechanism module; the clinical control terminal transmitting a second key to the consensus mechanism module; and the consensus mechanism module allowing the execution of the neutron beam plan based on the received first and second keys, and driving the accelerator terminal to generate a neutron beam.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the medical safety management system 100 can be software, hardware, or a combination of both. If it is software, when its operation process is installed on a computer system or multiple computer systems, the computer system immediately becomes a tool for executing the present invention. If it is hardware, the medical safety management system 100 includes a typical processing chip, memory, temporary storage memory, display device, network communication interface, operating system, and application program, which are coupled to each other in a generally known manner to perform calculations, temporary storage, display, and data transmission. Each system component can also be a combination of hardware and software. Since the above are generally known architectures, they will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, it should be noted that each component in the medical safety management system 100, as well as the sub-components under each component, including the neutron beam planning module 111, the clinical safety control module 112, the monitoring module 113, the accelerator safety control module 121, the consensus mechanism module 130, etc., can be deployed as a whole or in parts at multiple terminals (e.g., the clinical control terminal 110, the neutron beam control terminal 120, the accelerator terminal 200, etc.) according to the needs of the application, so that they can interact with each other through remote connections, rather than being limited to being deployed at the near end. Those skilled in the art can make changes or modifications according to the needs of the application after reading the description of this invention.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 2B To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a medical safety management system 100, comprising: a clinical control terminal 110, including a clinical safety control module 112 for controlling the operation of a treatment control room; a neutron beam control terminal 120, coupled to the clinical control terminal 110, for controlling the operation of an accelerator terminal 200, the neutron beam control terminal 120 further including an accelerator safety control module 121; and a consensus mechanism module 130, coupled to the clinical safety control module 112, the accelerator safety control module 121, and the accelerator terminal 200, storing at least one consensus mechanism. When the clinical safety control module 112 in the clinical control terminal 110 transmits a neutron beam generation request to the accelerator safety control module 121 in the neutron beam control terminal 120, the accelerator safety control module 121 and the clinical safety control module 112 respectively generate and transmit a first key 1 and a second key 2 to the consensus mechanism module 130, enabling the consensus mechanism module 130 to drive the accelerator terminal 200 to generate a neutron beam through the consensus mechanism. (See also...) Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, one interactive operation mode of the clinical security control module 112, the accelerator security control module 121, and the consensus mechanism module 130 is described. In this embodiment, when the accelerator security control module 121 transmits the first key 1 to the clinical security control module 112 and the consensus mechanism module 130 at a first time t1, the first key 1 contains an active timestamp, for example... Figure 2BIn this diagram, two timestamps represent the time intervals of their operation as the first time t1 and the third time t3 (i.e., t1~t3). When the clinical control module 112 receives the first key 1, it can determine the time required for neutron beam generation based on the application of the control port and the needs of treatment (the same applies to the accelerator control module 121), and transmit the second key 2 to the consensus mechanism module 130, so that its operation time is from the second time t2 to the fourth time t4 (i.e., t2~t4). When the consensus mechanism module 130 receives the first key 1 and the second key 2, it takes the intersection of the time intervals of the two, that is, the time interval from the second time t2 to the third time t3 (i.e., t2~t3), as the neutron beam generation time. The time when the first key 1 and the second key 2 are transmitted to the consensus mechanism module 130 is used as the consensus mechanism between the clinical control terminal 110 and the neutron beam control terminal 120. In this way, the clinical control terminal 110 and the neutron beam control terminal 120 can jointly monitor the accelerator. When the neutron beam generated by terminal 200 expires, because the consensus mechanism requires both key 1 and key 2 to be active simultaneously for the neutron beam to be generated, the neutron beam will be shut down by accelerator terminal 200. This achieves the purpose of the present invention, where the neutron beam generation request can be controlled by clinical control terminal 110 and neutron beam control terminal 120 in a decentralized manner, and one of the terminals can react in time if an abnormal situation occurs, without waiting for the transmission delay between terminals.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the information in the neutron beam generation request, the first key 1, and the second key 2 may include authentication information, communication-related messages related to neutron beam generation, the aforementioned timestamps (such as the first time t1, the second time t1, the third time t3, and the fourth time t4 mentioned above), and the time interval represented by the timestamps (e.g., the accelerator end 200 is driven to generate a neutron beam at t2~t3). The messages may be, but are not limited to, text, audio, video, symbols, digital codes, or any combination thereof. The messages may be public or non-public. For example, a neutron beam generation request can be a code containing the text message "request", a first key 1 can be a code containing the text message "1st beam on", and a second key 2 can be a code containing the text message "2nd beam on". In another embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned text messages, it can also contain corresponding audio messages, such as voice input by the clinical control terminal 110 and the neutron beam control terminal 120, corresponding to the neutron beam generation request, the first key 1, and the second key 2, respectively. This enables the control terminals or modules to have a consensus mechanism for interactive verification, thereby clarifying information transmission and control permissions and improving the clarity of information during the operation of the medical safety management system 100.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2AAccording to the present invention, the consensus mechanism module 130 further includes a key verification unit 131 for verifying further interactive verification between the first key 1 and the second key 2. According to an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the aforementioned communication-related information such as neutron beam generation and timestamps, the first key 1 and the second key 2 may include, but are not limited to, digital signatures, encryption algorithms (which may be symmetric or asymmetric encryption) and biometric technologies (such as fingerprint, facial, or iris recognition) in the identity verification information, thereby strengthening the identity verification of each terminal operator in the medical security management system 100. According to one aspect of the present invention, since the medical security management system 100 is mainly used for the coordinated operation and interactive control of multiple terminals such as the clinical control terminal 110, the neutron beam control terminal 120, and the accelerator terminal 200 (especially the timing of neutron beam generation and shutdown under multi-terminal verification), this means that the medical security management system 100 is actually an application of cross-system integration and remote monitoring of neutron beams. When the number of terminals involved is increased, or when the medical security management system 100 needs to be integrated and extended to other medical security management platforms, such as various subsystems in the BNCT medical system (such as electronic medical records), the key verification unit 131 can use the consensus mechanism stored in the consensus mechanism module 130 to further improve the security and freedom of remote deployment of components such as the clinical control terminal 110, the neutron beam planning module 111, the clinical security control module 112, the monitoring module 113, the neutron beam control terminal 120, and the accelerator security control module 121, thereby achieving the purpose of the present invention.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 According to the present invention, the medical safety management system 100 further includes a monitoring module 113, which in one embodiment is installed at the clinical control terminal 110, coupled to the clinical safety control module 112 and the accelerator terminal 200. This module detects and monitors the neutron beam generation status at the accelerator terminal 200 (e.g., neutron beam dose, radiation generated by the neutron-activated radioactive material in the form of photons (e.g., gamma rays, the timing of neutron beam generation, and the timing of neutron beam shutdown), and monitors the patient's treatment status. This monitoring data is then transmitted to the clinical safety control module 112, allowing the clinical safety control module 112 to determine the time interval for the action of the second key 2, that is, to define the action timing of the two timestamps, the second time t2 and the fourth time t4. Thus, the monitoring module 113 enables the entire medical safety management system 100 to promptly detect and respond to any abnormalities in the neutron beam generation process, strengthening the integration of the neutron beam generation status and patient treatment status of the various subsystems in the aforementioned BNCT medical system with the clinical control terminal 110.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 5A and Figure 5BAccording to the present invention, the medical safety management system 100 further includes a neutron beam planning module 111, which is installed in the clinical control terminal 110 in one embodiment of the present invention. The module formulates a neutron beam plan according to medical needs, is coupled to the accelerator safety control module 121, and transmits a neutron beam generation request to the accelerator safety control module 121 for the neutron beam control terminal 120 to evaluate whether to approve the neutron beam generation request. The neutron beam plan may include information such as the dose, irradiation time, irradiation intensity, irradiation angle, irradiation location, single field, multiple fields, medical images, start irradiation conditions, and end irradiation conditions required for the neutron beam to target the patient's PT. This allows the accelerator safety control module 121 to determine whether to approve the neutron beam generation request and transmit the first key 1 to the clinical safety control module 112 based on the actual operating conditions of the accelerator terminal 200 and the neutron beam quality control / quality assurance conditions. Thus, due to the existence of the consensus mechanism module 130, the first key 1, and the second key 2, the medical safety management system 100 can improve the communication method between the control terminals, and the neutron beam generation request can be directly controlled by the clinical control terminal 110, achieving the purpose of strengthening the BNCT medical system in this invention.

[0048] Please see Figure 2B , Figure 3 and Figure 4 To address the aforementioned problems, this invention further explores a medical safety management method 300, comprising the following steps: In step S1, a neutron beam plan is prepared; in step S2, the clinical control terminal 116 submits a neutron beam generation request according to the neutron beam plan; in step S5, the accelerator safety control module 121 in the neutron beam control terminal 120 transmits a first key 1 to the consensus mechanism module 130 according to the neutron beam generation request; in step S6, the clinical control terminal 116 transmits a second key 2 to the consensus mechanism module 130; in step S9, the consensus mechanism module 130, according to the received first key 1 and second key 2, allows the execution of the aforementioned neutron beam plan and drives the accelerator terminal 200 to generate a neutron beam. In an embodiment of this invention, when the accelerator safety control module 121 transmits the first key 1 to the clinical safety control module 112 and the consensus mechanism module 130 at a first time t1, the first key 1 contains an active timestamp, for example... Figure 2BIn this context, the two timestamps represent the time intervals of their operation as the first time t1 and the third time t3 (i.e., t1~t3). When the clinical security control module 112 receives the first key 1, it can determine the time required for neutron beam generation based on the application of the control port and the needs of treatment (the same applies to the accelerator security control module 121), and transmit the second key 2 to the consensus mechanism module 130, so that its operation time starts from the second time t2 to the fourth time t4 (i.e., t2~t3). t4), when the consensus mechanism module 130 receives the first key 1 and the second key 2, it takes the intersection of the time intervals of the two, that is, the time interval from the second time t2 to the third time t3 (i.e., t2~t3) as the neutron beam generation time, and uses the time when the first key 1 and the second key 2 are transmitted to the consensus mechanism module 130 as the consensus mechanism between the clinical control terminal 110 and the neutron beam control terminal 120. In this way, the clinical control terminal 110 and the neutron beam control terminal 120 can jointly monitor the neutron beam generated by the accelerator terminal 200. When the time of action of one of the keys (the first key 1 or the second key 2) expires, because the consensus mechanism does not satisfy the relationship that the first key 1 and the second key 2 must be active at the same time to drive the neutron beam generation, the neutron beam will be shut down by the accelerator terminal 200.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5A ,as well as Figure 5B According to one embodiment of the present invention, the neutron beam plan may include information such as the dose, irradiation time, irradiation intensity, irradiation angle, irradiation location, single field, multiple fields, medical images, start irradiation conditions, and end irradiation conditions required for the neutron beam to target the patient's PT. The medical safety management method 300 further includes, in process S3, the accelerator safety control module 121, based on the neutron beam plan, the neutron beam quality control / assurance at the accelerator end 200, and the operational diagnostic conditions of the accelerator end 200, comprehensively determining whether to approve the neutron beam generation request and transmit the first key 1 to the clinical safety control module 112. If yes, then the aforementioned process S5 is executed, transmitting the first key 1 to the clinical safety control module 112. If no, then in process S4, process S8 is executed to stop the neutron beam generation request of the neutron beam plan, terminating the entire execution process of the medical safety management method 300.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the medical safety management method 300 further includes a process S7 in which the consensus mechanism module 130 determines whether the received first key 1 and second key 2 conform to a preset consensus mechanism. If yes, then in process S9, the consensus mechanism module 130 allows the execution of the aforementioned neutron beam plan according to the received first key 1 and second key 2, and drives the accelerator end 200 to generate a neutron beam; if no, then process S8 is executed to stop the neutron beam generation request of the neutron beam plan and terminate the execution process of the entire medical safety management method 300. The consensus mechanism, in addition to... Figure 2B In addition to the timestamp judgment of the first key 1 and the second key 2 described in the document, it can also be, but is not limited to, digital signatures, encryption algorithms (which can be symmetric encryption or asymmetric encryption) and biometric technologies (such as palm prints, fingerprints, facial or iris recognition) to further authenticate multiple control terminals and improve the integration of multiple control terminals when performing medical security management method 300.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the medical safety management method 300 further includes, in process S10, a monitoring module 113 and / or an accelerator safety control module 121 reads monitoring data including the neutron beam generation status and / or the patient treatment status, so that the clinical safety control module 112 can execute processes S10a and S10b according to the aforementioned monitoring data. In processes S10a and S10b, the monitoring module 113 or the accelerator safety control module 121 calculates whether the dose of photons (e.g., gamma rays) and / or the dose of the neutron beam exceeds a preset value. This preset value is modified or defined by those skilled in the art according to the application requirements. For example, according to relevant regulations, the effective dose of radiation workers in any single year shall not exceed 50 millisieverts, and the equivalent dose of the lens of the eye shall not exceed 150 millisieverts in a single year. In addition, the dose of the neutron beam is accumulated by the patient before, during, and after treatment according to the neutron beam plan. The system judges whether the dosage meets expectations and whether the patient's treatment status is normal. If the dosage is exceeded or abnormal, process S8 is executed to stop the neutron beam generation request of the neutron beam plan, withdraw the second key 2, and terminate the execution process of the entire medical safety management method 300. If the dosage is not exceeded or the patient's status is normal and still under the control of the neutron beam plan, process S6 is executed in process S11. The clinical control end 116 keeps the second key 2 effective and the consensus mechanism in the consensus mechanism module 130 is sustained, while the accelerator end 200 continues to generate and output the neutron beam.

[0052] In summary, the medical safety management system and method proposed in this invention establishes an efficient and safe medical radiation therapy management mechanism through a clinical control terminal, a neutron beam control terminal, and a consensus mechanism module. By introducing a consensus mechanism between the clinical control terminal and the neutron beam control terminal, it ensures that the neutron beam is activated only under specific conditions specified in the consensus mechanism. This improves upon the shortcomings in the timing of interaction and communication between the neutron beam generation system and the clinical treatment system in the neutron beam generation process in known technologies. It enhances the integration and security of various terminals in the BNCT medical system and improves the flexibility of system component deployment at near and far ends. Therefore, this invention not only has high industrial applicability but also possesses a novel system and method architecture and improved performance, hence this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art are free to make various modifications after reading this invention, but all such modifications will not depart from the scope of protection sought by the appended claims.
