  • Circuit arrangement for acquisition of signals from an apparatus for measuring beams of charged particles for external radiotherapy
    Patent number: 10534093
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for acquisition of signals from an apparatus for measuring beams of charged particles for external radiotherapy, in particular protons, carbon ions, and other ion species, emitted by particle accelerators, comprising at least one ionization-chamber sensor (10), which includes a plurality of sensor channels (20), said circuit arrangement (200; 500) comprising a plurality of channel branches (B0, . . . , B63; BR0, . . . , BR63) in parallel designed to be connected to said sensor channels (20) for receiving respective measurement signals (i) therefrom, said channel branches (B0, . . . , B63; BR0, . . . , BR63) comprising respective current-to-frequency converters (210) and counters (220) for supplying count values (CT), representing a charge associated to a given channel (20), to a multiplexer (250; 550). According to the invention, said channel branches (BR0, . . . , BR63) supply their own outputs (CT0, . . .
