Modulation Electrode Electron Beam Control for Radiation Therapy

The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing fixed electron beam parameter configurations with dynamically adjustable parameters. The electron beam parameters (such as energy, current, and spatial distribution) can be modified in real-time through control signals to the electron gun and accelerating structures, allowing the system to adapt to different treatment plans without physical reconfiguration.

The patent implements parameter changes by enabling continuous adjustment of electron beam characteristics including energy levels, beam current, pulse duration, and spatial profile. These parameter modifications are achieved through electronic control of the electron gun cathode heating, grid voltages, and accelerating field strengths, allowing precise tailoring of beam parameters for each treatment plan.

The patent applies universality by designing a single electron gun and accelerating structure that can operate across multiple therapy energy modes (low-energy, medium-energy, high-energy). The system achieves multi-functionality through programmable control of beam parameters, allowing one device to perform what previously required multiple specialized devices or complex manual reconfigurations.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through treatment plan management systems that automatically determine optimal electron beam parameters based on the selected treatment mode and patient-specific requirements. The system provides automated parameter optimization and monitoring, reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining precise control over beam characteristics for different therapy modes.
