[0036] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , the film scale device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail through specific examples.

[0037] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a film scale device provided by one embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the assembly of a film fixing table and a radiation component provided in one embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a radiation assembly provided by one embodiment of the utility model; Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of a film fixing table provided in one embodiment of the present invention. A film scale device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a fixing seat 10, a radiation component 20, a film fixing table 30 and a filter 40. The radiation component 20 is movably arranged on the fixing seat 10, and the radiation component 20 includes a radiation component 21, and the radiation component 21 is used to emit radiation; the film fixing table 30 is arranged on the fixing seat 10 and corresponds to the position of the radiation component 20; the filter 40 is located on the film fixing table 30; wherein, the film is mounted on the film fixing table 30, and the laser emitted by the radiation component 21 leaves a dose distribution pattern on the film after passing through the filter 40.

[0038] Among them, the film is slow-sensitivity film, which is a film with relatively low sensitivity. Its main advantages are high resolution, good color reproduction, and the ability to provide high-quality images. Before the patient receives radiotherapy, the slow-sensitivity film is placed on the patient's body part, such as the head or chest. During the exposure process, the slow-sensitivity film has a lower sensitivity to radiation, so a longer exposure time is required to obtain the image. When the patient is irradiated, the radiotherapy equipment emits radiation, which exposes the film. By measuring the exposure on the film, the radiotherapy team can determine whether the actual irradiation location and dose distribution are consistent with the plan. By comparing the image on the slow-sensitivity film with the theoretical image in the plan, the doctor and the radiotherapy team can evaluate the accuracy of the treatment and make necessary adjustments. This ensures that the radiation dose received by the patient is accurate and maximizes the protection of patient health and safety.

[0039] The radiation assembly 20 includes a radiation element 21, which is used to emit radiation. During radiotherapy, a slow-sensitivity film is placed in a specific position in the patient's body or near a radiation source. When the radiation is emitted and passes through this specific position, it will irradiate the slow-sensitivity film.

[0040] In this embodiment, the film is placed on the film fixing table 30, and the filter 40 is placed on top of the film. The position of the radiation element 21 corresponds to the film fixing table 30, so that the radiation emitted by the radiation element 21 can move toward the filter 40 and the film. In addition, the radiation element 21 can be moved on the fixing seat 10, so as to adjust the position of the radiation element 21, so that the radiation element 21 can always correspond to the position of the filter 40. Through such a setting, the radiation can be irradiated on the film through the filter 40, the filter 40 controls the intensity and energy distribution of the radiation, and accurately records the dose distribution on the slow-sensitive film, thereby leaving a dose distribution pattern on the film.

[0041] In some embodiments, the radiation assembly 20 further includes a mounting frame 22 and a sliding seat 23 ; the mounting frame 22 is mounted on the fixed seat 10 , and the sliding seat 23 is connected to the radiation member 21 ; the sliding seat 23 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 22 .

[0042] The mounting frame 22 is fixed on the fixing seat 10, and the sliding seat 23 is connected to the radiation member 21, so that the sliding seat 23 can drive the radiation member 21 to slide on the mounting frame 22, so that the radiation member 21 can be adjusted in position on the mounting frame 22. Through such a setting, the position of the radiation member 21 is adjusted so that the radiation member 21 can always keep corresponding to the position of the filter 40, so that the radiation emitted by the radiation member 21 can accurately pass through the filter 40 and move to the film.

[0043] Specifically, a protrusion is provided on the sliding seat 23 , and a groove is provided on the mounting frame 22 . The protrusion is received in the groove, so that the sliding seat 23 can move on the mounting frame 22 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the radiation assembly 20 further includes a first motor 24 and a moving rod 25, wherein the first motor 24 is connected to the moving rod 25; the moving rod 25 is passed through the mounting frame 22, and the moving rod 25 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 23; wherein the moving rod 25 can drive the sliding seat 23 to slide on the mounting frame 22. After starting the first motor 24, the first motor 24 can drive the moving rod 25 to extend and retract, and at this time, the sliding seat 23 fixed on the moving rod 25 can move synchronously with the moving rod 25, and when the sliding seat 23 moves, it specifically moves on the mounting frame 22. Through such a setting, the first motor 24 can drive the sliding seat 23 to move to adjust the position of the radiation component 21, thereby improving the precision of the position adjustment.

[0045] In some embodiments, a slide rail 11 is provided on the fixing seat 10, and the film fixing platform 30 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11. The slide rail 11 is orthogonally arranged on the fixing seat 10 and the mounting frame 22, so that the film fixing platform 30 can move along the Z axis on the slide rail 11. Through such an arrangement, the film fixing platform 30 can adjust its position along the Z axis on the slide rail 11. At this time, the position of the radiation component 21 is adjusted on the X axis, which can further keep the positions of the film fixing seat 10 and the radiation component 21 consistent.

[0046] In some embodiments, the film fixing platform 30 is provided with a receiving groove 31, and the film can be received in the film fixing platform 30 through the receiving groove 31. By providing the receiving groove 31 on the film fixing platform 30, the film can be received in the receiving groove 31, so that the film can be fixed and prevented from being shifted in position.

[0047] In some embodiments, a hollow portion 32 is formed on the top of the film fixing platform 30 , and the optical filter 40 is covered on the hollow portion 32 , so that the optical filter 40 is located on the top of the film.

[0048] The hollow portion 32 is located at the top of the receiving groove 31 . When the film is received in the receiving groove 31 , the hollow portion 32 can prevent the filter element and the film from being blocked, and the radiation can be irradiated onto the film through the filter 40 .

[0049] In some embodiments, a comparison plate 34 is provided on the film fixing table 30, and the film is located on the top of the comparison plate 34. In radiotherapy, the comparison plate 34 can play an important role in calibrating and verifying the exposure system. The comparison plate 34 is a standard plate with a known grayscale or color value, usually including a series of grayscale gradations and color standards. Its purpose is to calibrate the sensitivity and accuracy of the radiotherapy film exposure device. When using the radiotherapy film scale device 100, the comparison plate 34 is placed on the film fixing table 30 together with the radiotherapy film and is exposed to radiation at the same time. The radiotherapy film and the comparison plate 34 will be exposed to the same radiation to ensure the accuracy of the radiation dose. The grayscale gradations and color standards on the comparison plate 34 have known grayscale or color values, and doctors and technicians can evaluate the accuracy and image quality of the radiotherapy film exposure device by comparing the image on the comparison plate 34 with the image on the radiotherapy film. If the image on the comparison plate 34 is inconsistent with the image on the radiotherapy film, adjustments may be required to ensure accurate radiotherapy dose distribution.

[0050] Specifically, the comparison plate 34 is used to calibrate and verify the sensitivity and accuracy of the device. It is used in conjunction with the radiotherapy film to evaluate the accuracy and image quality of the radiotherapy film exposure device by comparing the image on the comparison plate 34 with the image on the radiotherapy film. The presence of the comparison plate 34 ensures the accurate distribution of the radiotherapy dose, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of radiotherapy.

[0051] In some embodiments, the film fixing platform 30 is provided with an abutting wall 33, and the abutting wall 33 abuts against the optical filter 40 to fix the optical filter 40 on the film fixing platform. The abutting wall 33 abuts against the optical filter 40 to fix the optical filter 40 on the film fixing platform.

[0052] In some embodiments, the filter 40 is one of a hardening filter 40, a softening filter 40, and a balancing filter 40. The filter 40 can help doctors accurately control the dose distribution of radiation to adapt to different treatment needs and goals. Among them, the hardening filter 40 is made of a material with a high atomic number, such as metals such as tungsten and platinum. They are mainly used to increase the quality of high-energy rays (such as X-rays or gamma rays) so that they can penetrate deeper into the patient's body and provide more effective treatment. The softening filter 40 is usually made of materials such as aluminum or molybdenum to reduce the quality of high-energy rays. This helps to reduce the dose in the transmission of the rays, making it more suitable for the treatment of shallow tissues or sensitive areas. The balancing filter 40 is composed of different materials and is intended to balance the dose distribution of rays of different energies during radiotherapy. By using the balancing filter 40, doctors can produce uniform and appropriate doses of rays in the radiation beam to ensure that the entire treatment area is properly irradiated.

[0053] According to different treatment requirements and equipment configurations, appropriate filters 40 may be selected for combination and use.

[0054] In some embodiments, the radiation element 21 emits one of an X-ray source and a gamma ray. The X-ray source or the gamma ray can be selected according to the energy, penetrating power and dose distribution of the radiation. The energy of the radiation determines its ability to penetrate matter. For different treatment targets, appropriate energy can be selected. For example, higher energy X-rays or gamma rays can better penetrate deep tissues and are more suitable for treating deep tumors. For superficial tumors, lower energy radiation can be selected. The penetrating power of radiation of different energies in different tissues is also different. Selecting the appropriate radiation energy can ensure that the radiation penetrates the patient's body surface and surrounding tissues to reach the target tumor area. If the selected energy penetrating power is too strong or too weak, it may cause the radiation to fail to reach the target area or excessively damage the surrounding tissues. The dose distribution of radiation in the patient's body is also a factor to be considered. The dose distribution of radiation of different energies in the body may be different, so it is necessary to select the appropriate radiation energy according to the treatment plan and the location of the target tumor.

It can be understood that the film scale device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention also includes other structures for realizing the functions of the film scale device 100.

Under the idea of ​​the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other changes in different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.
