Description

A kind of the photon energy synthetic method and system of clinac
Technical field
The present invention relates to radiation therapy technology field more particularly to a kind of photon energy synthesis sides of clinac The photon energy synthesis system of method and a kind of clinac.
Background technique
Clinac is a kind of radiotherapy equipment, is divided into electric wire and two kinds of photon line.One simplest Clinac at least will include accelerating tube, high-power microwave source, Wave guide system, control system, ray expansion system and The systems such as guard system.Clinac is the product that the high, precision and frontier technology in medical instrument combines, and is Medical treatment device One of highest product of technology content in tool field also only has a few developed country to be able to produce in the world.
Conventional medical linear accelerator is divided into two class of traveling wave and standing wave, basic structure class according to the characteristics of microwave transmission Seemingly, it generates high energy electron or photon beam mechanism is same.By utilizing the high energy electron and HIGH-POWERED MICROWAVES with certain energy Microwave electromagnetic field interactions, to obtain higher energy electronic beam.Electron beam is directly led out, and can make electric wire treatment. High energy electron hits heavy metal tungsten target, to generate bremstrahlen, emits sigmatron, resulting photon has continuous Energy spectrum, energy range is from 0 to initiating electron beam energy.It is arrived for example, a 6MV electron beam can produce an energy 0 Photon beam between 6MV, this photon beam are commonly referred to as 6MV photon beam.
The penetration depth of different-energy ray is different, to the difference of tumor dose contribution, compared with low energy photon beam (≤ 6MV) due to its percentage depth dose distribution within the organization, it is often used to treatment head and neck neoplasm or superficial tumor;It is higher Stronger, the more tumour that be used to treat deep of the penetration capacity of the photon beam (> 6MV) of energy within the organization.High-energy photon Line (> 6MV) has the characteristics that skin injury is small, penetrability is strong, the ray uniformity is high and guarantees that normal tissue effect is good, is suitable for Treat deep tumor.Therefore it is directed to different parts difference tumour, the ray of different-energy may be selected when formulating treatment plan scheme Carry out radiotherapy.
But the requirement of complex process and output dose rate due to accelerator engineering, the design of accelerator only allow a small amount of Photon energy (usually 2 to 3 grades) is available.As the selectable energy gear number of clinac output light beamlet increases, Technology complexity increases, so that manufacturing cost sharply increases, this also translates into higher purchasing price.Mainly pass through at present Hardware controlling method adjusts clinac energy, including following two method: first is that by adjusting modulator high pressure, Change magnetron or klystron output power, multiple kinds of energy selection is realized, the disadvantage is that energy-conditioning range is small;Second is that using energy Method of switching carries out multiple kinds of energy selection, the disadvantage is that only there are two gears for the selectable energy of accelerator, can not continuously adjust.
To ensure that dosage is accurately and reliably irradiated by prescription, every grade of photon energy beam must be calibrated and be tested respectively, And every grade of photon energy beam must individually carry out modeling test in treatment planning systems.Debugging need to be using three-dimensional water when checking and accepting Case measures the dosimetric parameters under various geometrical conditions in water, such as percent depth-dose curves (Percentage Depth Dose, PDD), off-axis dose profile (Off Axial Ratio, OAR) and the output factor (Output Factor, OF) Deng importing treatment planning systems and generate dose computation model appropriate.Physics teacher is when planning design from treatment planning systems Wherein one grade of available energy photon carries out plan design for middle selection.Therefore, the cost debugged and safeguarded is usually and medical linear The quantity for the photon energy that accelerator can be used is directly proportional.It, will significantly when the quantity for the photon energy that can be used increases Increase the operating cost of clinac.
