Definitions
- the present invention relates to a particle beam therapy apparatus that irradiates proton beams and heavy ion beams for the purpose of treating cancer and the like, and a method for adjusting the particle beam therapy apparatus, and more particularly to scanning irradiation such as spot scanning and raster scanning.
- the present invention relates to a particle beam therapy system that applies the above.
- particle beam irradiation requires a large-scale radiation source like an accelerator, so that the radiation source itself cannot be moved easily like an X-ray source, and is used to irradiate the affected area at an appropriate angle.
- Various proposals have been made. For example, when treating a tumor formed in the brain or eyeball, the patient is generally seated on a chair-type patient holding device and performed in a horizontal irradiation room where a charged particle beam is irradiated horizontally.
- a chair type patient holding apparatus for radiation therapy in which a charged particle beam is designed to be irradiated to an irradiation target position called an isocenter, and the affected part is positioned by moving a chair type patient holding apparatus while viewing an X-ray image.
- a chair-type patient holding device has been proposed that includes an adjustment device that can move the affected part to the center of rotation (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
- the particle beam irradiation has a Bragg peak as described above, the particle beam irradiated from outside the body affects the body surface side to some extent. Therefore, in the particle beam therapy system, in order to avoid irradiation of important normal tissue, it is required that the irradiation angle can be appropriately set according to the affected part.
- multi-port irradiation that irradiates a cancer lesion from a plurality of directions has been proposed, and an effect of reducing irradiation to a normal tissue is known.
- a method of using a rotary irradiation type particle beam therapy device called a rotary gantry instead of fixed port irradiation and combining it with a bed type patient holding device is also well known.
- this method has a problem that the apparatus becomes large, and the initial cost (introduction cost) and running cost are required, and a large space is occupied for installation.
- Particle beam therapy equipment using a rotating gantry is often used for proton beams, but when heavy ions such as carbon ions are used as charged particles, the radius of curvature that bends the beam trajectory is large and a giant electromagnet is rotated. Since it is necessary, it is more difficult to implement the apparatus.
- Multi-gate irradiation can be performed using a rotating gantry, but when the irradiation angle is changed, the irradiation device rotates together with the rotating gantry, so an engineer enters the irradiation room and confirms that the irradiation device and the patient do not collide. However, there was a problem that the irradiation angle could not be changed without it.
- the following two functions are required.
- One is a function for irradiating a charged particle beam to a desired position at a desired angle
- the other is a function for shaping an irradiation shape for selectively irradiating an irradiation target such as a tumor.
- the particle beam therapy system is roughly divided into two types according to the method of realizing the function for shaping the irradiation shape.
- a small irradiation area is scanned with a scanning electromagnet, which is called a broad irradiation type that irradiates the irradiation area at once with an irradiation nozzle composed of a wobbler electromagnet, scatterer, range modulator, patient collimator, patient bolus, etc. It is called a scanning irradiation type that irradiates the irradiation region in stages.
- the particle beam travels from the irradiation nozzle or scanning electromagnet toward the irradiation target so as to spread in the direction of divergence, so if the distance between the irradiation nozzle or scanning electromagnet and the irradiation target is short, the divergence angle is Compared to the case where the divergence angle is small even when irradiating the same irradiation target, the area through which the charged particles pass through the body surface becomes smaller, so the irradiation density on the body surface increases, and the body surface, which is a normal tissue, is increased. Will increase the damage.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-89928 (paragraph 0012, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-111540 (paragraph 0018, FIG. 3) JP 2002-113118 A (paragraph 0013, FIG. 1) JP 2003-528659 A (paragraph 0055, FIG. 6)
- the irradiation nozzle or scanning electromagnet is moved in accordance with the beam trajectory defined by the deflection electromagnet. Then, the distance from the irradiation nozzle or the scanning electromagnet to the irradiation target must be shortened. For this reason, the divergence angle of the particle beam is increased, so that there is a problem that the irradiation density on the body surface is increased and the irradiation amount to a normal tissue is increased. Furthermore, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes complicated in order to move a heavy irradiation nozzle or scanning electromagnet.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a particle beam therapy system that has a high degree of freedom in irradiation and can reduce the amount of irradiation to normal tissue.

And a deflecting electromagnet that switches the trajectory of the charged particle beam so as to reach the isocenter through one selected beam trajectory among a plurality of beam trajectories set up to the isocenter.
- the method for adjusting the particle beam therapy system includes a step of setting a beam trajectory and installing a beam measuring unit that measures the actual irradiation position coordinates of the charged particle beam corresponding to the set beam trajectory, Reading a plurality of different irradiation control values; actually irradiating a charged particle beam according to the read irradiation control values; measuring actual irradiation position coordinates of the charged particle beam in the isocenter; and And setting an unknown parameter of the inverse mapping mathematical model from a combination of a plurality of measurement results of irradiation position coordinates and the plurality of irradiation control values.
- the particle beam therapy system includes a step of reading a plurality of different irradiation control values, and an actual irradiation position coordinate in the isocenter portion of the charged particle beam actually irradiated according to the read irradiation control value.
- the scanning electromagnet is installed upstream of the deflection electromagnet that switches the beam trajectory, by increasing the distance at which the charged particle beam diverges, the degree of freedom of irradiation is high, and the normal tissue is irradiated.
- a particle beam therapy system capable of reducing the amount can be obtained.
- the irradiation control value data string is read for each beam trajectory, the charged particle beam is actually irradiated, and the actual irradiation position coordinates of the charged particle beam at the isocenter portion are calculated. Since the unknown parameters of the inverse mapping model from the irradiation position coordinates to the control values are set from the combination of the data string and the irradiation control value data string, the particle beam enables accurate irradiation regardless of the trajectory selected.
