Grating and collimator apparatus thereof are the critical piece of radiotherapy instrument, and it is related to the radiotherapy system one-piece construction and arranges and radiocurable effect and efficient.
The radioactive source device of traditional spiral-fault radiation therapeutic system comprises a plurality of cobalts-60 radioactive source, with its coupling be many cover multi-leaf optical grating collimator apparatus.It realizes that the three-dimensional suitable shape and the strength regulated shape-adapted practice are, on some irradiation positions, forms by electric multiblade optical grating earlier and the suitable shape launched field of tumor shape basically identical according to the form of tumour, and then finish the intensity conform irradiation of tumor thickness direction with the difform open country of contracting, the overlapping step that forms dose intensity with repeatedly irradiation distributes final the realization and tumour form and all consistent three-dimensional result of treatment of dose distribution.
Yet electric multiblade optical grating is to be overlaped by many independently tungalloy thin slices and micromachine to constitute, and at first it will be subjected to the restriction of structure and size, and just accurately the shape with tumour is consistent in the visual field, and suitable shape open country is obviously very coarse; In addition, need flexible motion between thin slice, therefore, that also can not lean between the blade is too tight, and this just unavoidably can produce interlobate slit source ray, and this makes the performance of strength regulated shape-adapted launched field and quality have a greatly reduced quality; Its three, the tungalloy blade is by step motor drive, motion needs the time, image-guided strength regulated shape-adapted in, the mode of moving with regard to not adopting more advanced beam to follow the organ movement can only adopt therapeutic bed to follow technology, and the speed of following can be affected accordingly.
As mentioned above, adopt many radioactive sources, and adopt the multi-leaf optical grating collimating apparatus, it is low to make that radiotherapy system complex structure, its image are followed speed, makes therapeutic efficiency poor; And the radiotherapy security is not high, and result of treatment is poor.
At the defective of above-mentioned multi-leaf optical grating and collimator apparatus thereof, a kind of novel matrix grating (or being called the honeycomb grating) arises at the historic moment.Offer abundant, enough thin vertebral foramen on the matrix grating, these vertebral foramens are arranged with array way, thereby form honeycomb.During radiation therapy, as the case may be, in vertebral foramen, fill the tungsten pin, form the tungsten pin combination corresponding and arrange with tumor shape; In addition, difference at the tumor thickness distribution, the therapeutic dose that the part of tumour different-thickness requires distributes different, need the modulation of precision rational strength, so the matrix type honeycomb grating can be formed by the matrix type honeycomb sub-gratings stack of multilayer different-thickness, each sublayer just becomes strength retrogression's device of a scale-of-two interpolation like this, and for example four stacked structures that add of son can provide 16 kinds of exposure intensities.The beneficial effect of this kind matrix type honeycomb grating is mainly reflected in: (1) this honeycomb-type grating adopts cellular and reaches the structure that multilayer superposes, thereby has accurate suitable shape and dose intensity regulatory function; (2) closely stack between the multilayer needle chamber does not exist the ray crack to leak, and has improved security; (3) easily operation, and overlap grating more and can switch use wherein one is enclosed within irradiation when using, and another set ofly just can adorn the operation of tungsten pin, so, follow the tracks of at image and to have the speed of well following when treating.
