  • Publication number: 20220212037
    Abstract: The invention discloses a radiotherapy device and method, the invention uses the treatment reference point of the photon therapy component, that is, the isocenter as the reference point of the entire system, so that the axis of the proton beam emitted by the proton treatment equipment (proton therapy component) or the heavy ion beam emitted by the heavy ion treatment equipment (heavy ion therapy component) always passes through the reference point, then the two can simultaneously or separately treat patients who have successfully placed one time. The treatment plan can be optimized, and the respective treatment systems of the two treatment systems can be combined. Advantages, to complete the treatment together, especially for some complex cases, the combination of the two can better complete the treatment task at a lower cost.

  • Publication number: 20220047893
    Abstract: The invention discloses a dynamic intensity-modulated segmentation method for an orthogonal double-layer grating blade device. The core of the segmentation algorithm is to construct a virtual single-layer grating after the velocities of the two-layer gratings are synthesized to perform dynamic intensity modulation of the single-layer grating (sliding-window) segmentation, and finally use two layers of gratings to conform to each segment. In order to reduce the segmentation error, the invention provides two optimization methods: blade motion trajectory optimization method and segment weight optimization method. The blade motion trajectory optimization method is to optimize the objective function under certain constraints with the motion trajectory of each blade as a variable under the condition that the segment weight is fixed. Segment weight optimization method is to optimize the time points of each segment when the blade motion trajectory is fixed.

  • Patent number: 5672878
    Abstract: An ionization chamber for monitoring a radiation beam includes a housing having a primary beam passageway and a number of secondary beam cells that are adjacent to the primary beam passageway. The primary beam passageway passes entirely through the housing. In the preferred embodiment, a large-area beam measuring electrode and an array of small-area beam measuring electrodes are each coaxial with the primary beam passageway. Also, in the preferred embodiment, each secondary beam cell includes a beam measuring electrode. Because the portions of the radiation beam that enter the secondary beam cells do not pass through the ionization chamber, these portions do not contaminate the treatment beam, allowing the beam measuring electrodes within the cells to be dimensioned and configured so as to maximize signal strength.
