  • Patent number: 8917816
    Abstract: A multi-leaf collimator device for radiotherapy, including: a frame that has a box shape and has through-holes formed in top and bottom surfaces thereof; a plurality of collimators that are received in the frame, wherein each of the collimators includes a rack gear formed on the top surface of the collimator, the collimators are symmetrically arranged in a left-right direction about a central portion of the frame, and are slidably provided on the frame; and a motion driving unit that includes a pinion gear that is formed to be detachable from the rack gear formed on the top surface of the collimator, and is provided on the frame to move the pinion gear in a front-back direction of the frame and an up-down direction of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20140336439
    Abstract: A portable phantom device according to the present invention is a phantom device which is detachably installed in a bird cage that is coupled to an irradiator, and includes a body provided with an accommodation space having a cylindrical shape and a top of which is open so as to accommodate water, a horizontality adjustment maintaining portion which is detachably coupled to a side wall of the body; and a sensor holding portion which is installed on the side wall of the body so as not to interfere with the horizontality adjustment maintaining portion, so that a sensor for measuring the amount of radiation that is incident on the accommodation space may be inserted from the outside of the body and accommodated in the body (Representative drawing: FIG.

  • Publication number: 20100119443
    Abstract: A radiotherapeutic system including non-invasive and real-time tumor tracking includes: a signal detector for detecting radioactive rays emitted from a tumor to which the radioactive medical supply is adsorbed and generating an electrical signal; a signal processor for converting the electrical signal generated into a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate signal; a controller for generating a control signal in conjunction with the 3D coordinate signal output by the signal processor; and a radioactive-ray irradiation device for emitting radioactive rays to the tumor, wherein the amount of the radioactive rays is controlled by the controller.
