Description

Neutron capture therapy system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a radiation irradiation system, and more particularly, to a neutron capture therapy system.
Background
With the development of atomic science, radiation therapy such as cobalt sixty, linac, electron beam, etc. has become one of the main means for cancer therapy. However, the traditional photon or electron treatment is limited by the physical condition of the radioactive rays, and a large amount of normal tissues on the beam path can be damaged while killing tumor cells; in addition, due to the different sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation, traditional radiotherapy often has poor therapeutic effects on malignant tumors with relatively high radiation resistance (such as glioblastoma multiforme (glioblastoma multiforme) and melanoma (melanoma)).
In order to reduce radiation damage to normal tissue surrounding a tumor, the concept of target treatment in chemotherapy (chemotherapy) has been applied to radiotherapy; for tumor cells with high radiation resistance, radiation sources with high relative biological effects (relative biological effectiveness, RBE) such as proton therapy, heavy particle therapy, neutron capture therapy, etc. are also actively developed. The neutron capture treatment combines the two concepts, such as boron neutron capture treatment, and provides better cancer treatment selection than the traditional radioactive rays by means of the specific aggregation of boron-containing medicaments in tumor cells and the accurate neutron beam regulation.
Various radioactive rays, such as neutrons and photons with low to high energy, are generated in the radiotherapy process, and may cause different degrees of damage to normal tissues of a human body. Therefore, in the field of radiotherapy, it is an extremely important task to reduce radiation pollution to the external environment, medical staff or normal tissues of a patient while achieving effective treatment. Meanwhile, in the existing accelerator boron neutron capture treatment, a plurality of patients cannot be treated at the same time, or a plurality of irradiation chambers are unreasonably distributed, and the transmission path of the charged particle beam is long, so that loss is generated.
Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The average energy of the two charged particles is about 2.33MeV, the particles have high linear transfer (Linear Energy Transfer, LET) and short range characteristics, and the linear energy transfer and range of the alpha short particles are 150keV/μm and 8 μm respectively 7 The Li heavy charge particles are 175keV/μm and 5 μm, and the total range of the two particles is approximately equal to one cell size, so that the particles are producedThe radiation injury caused by the object can be limited at the cell level, so that the aim of killing tumor cells locally can be fulfilled on the premise of not causing too great injury to normal tissues.
The boron neutron capture therapy system 100 includes an accelerator 10, a beam transport section 20, a neutron beam generation section 30, and a therapy table 40.
