Specific embodiment
Neutron capture treatment as a kind of effective treating cancer means in recent years using gradually increasing, wherein with boron Neutron capture treatment is most commonly seen, and the neutron of supply boron neutron capture treatment can be supplied by nuclear reactor or accelerator.This Shen By taking the treatment of accelerator boron neutron capture as an example, the basic module of accelerator boron neutron capture treatment generally includes to use embodiment please It is whole in accelerator, neutron generating unit and the hot removal system and beam accelerated to charged particle (such as proton, deuteron) Body.Wherein accelerate charged particle and the effect of metal neutron generating unit to generate neutron, according to required neutron yield rate and energy, can The characteristics such as the acceleration charged particle energy of offer and the materialization of size of current, metal neutron generating unit are anti-to select suitable core It answers.The nuclear reaction being often discussed has7Li(p,n)7Be and9Be(p,n)9B, both reactions are all the endothermic reaction, two kinds of nuclear reactions Energy threshold be respectively 1.881MeV and 2.055MeV.Since the ideal neutron source of boron neutron capture treatment is keV energy etc. The epithermal neutron of grade can produce phase if being theoretically only slightly taller than the proton bombardment lithium metal neutron generating unit of threshold values using energy To the neutron of low energy, clinic can be used for by being not necessary to too many slow processing, however in two kinds of lithium metal (Li) and beryllium metal (Be) Sub- generating unit and the proton-effect section of threshold values energy be not high, to generate sufficiently large neutron flux, usually selects higher-energy Proton cause nuclear reaction.
Ideal target should have high neutron yield rate, the neutron energy of generation is distributed (will be under close to epithermal neutron energy area Text detailed description), without wear by force too much radiation generate, the characteristics such as cheap easily operated and high temperature resistant of safety, but actually and can not It finds and meets required nuclear reaction.Using target made of lithium metal in embodiments herein.But art technology Known to personnel, the material of target can also be made of other metal materials other than the above-mentioned metal material talked about.
Requirement for hot removal system is then different according to the nuclear reaction of selection, such as7Li(p,n)7Be is because of metal targets (lithium Metal) fusing point and thermal conductivity coefficient it is poor, requirement to hot removal system just compared with9Be(p,n)9B high.It is adopted in embodiments herein With7Li(p,n)7The nuclear reaction of Be.It follows that being accelerated the temperature of the target of charged particle beam irradiation by same high-energy level It will necessarily be substantially increased, to influence the service life of target.
No matter boron neutron capture treatment nuclear reaction of the neutron source from nuclear reactor or accelerator charged particle and target, What is generated is all mixed radiation field, i.e., beam contains neutron, photon of the low energy to high energy.The boron neutron of deep tumor is caught Treatment is obtained, other than epithermal neutron, remaining radiation content is more, causes the ratio of the non-selective dosage deposition of normal tissue It is bigger, therefore these radiation that will cause unnecessary dosage should reduce as far as possible.In addition to air beam quality factor, in knowing more about Son in human body caused by dosage be distributed, carry out Rapid Dose Calculation using human body head tissue prosthese in embodiments herein, and With prosthese beam quality factor as the design reference of neutron beam, will be described in more detail below.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is directed to the neutron source of clinical boron neutron capture treatment, penetrates given five air Beam quality factor suggestion, this five suggestions can be used for the superiority and inferiority of the different neutron sources of comparison, and be provided with as select neutron generate way Reference frame when diameter, design beam-shaping body.This five suggestion difference are as follows:
Epithermal neutron beam flux Epithermal neutron flux > 1x 109n/cm2s
Fast neutron pollutes Fast neutron contamination < 2x 10-13Gy-cm2/n
Photon contamination Photon contamination < 2x 10-13Gy-cm2/n
Ratio < 0.05 thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio thermal to epithermal neutron flux
Neutron current and ratio > 0.7 flux ratio epithermal neutron current to flux
Note: subzone is hankered less than 0.5eV, fast-neutron range is greater than between 0.5eV to 40keV in epithermal neutron energy area 40keV。
1, epithermal neutron beam flux:
Boracic drug concentration has codetermined the clinical treatment time in neutron beam flux and tumour.If tumour boracic drug The enough height of concentration, the requirement for neutron beam flux can reduce;Conversely, needing high pass if boracic drug concentration is low in tumour Epithermal neutron is measured to give tumour enough dosage.Requirement of the IAEA for epithermal neutron beam flux is per second every square centimeter Epithermal neutron number be greater than 109, the neutron beam under this flux can substantially control treatment for current boracic drug Time, short treatment time, can also relatively effective use boracic medicine other than advantageous to patient's positioning and comfort level in one hour Object limited residence time in tumour.
2, fast neutron pollutes:
Since fast neutron will cause unnecessary normal tissue dose, regard as pollution, this dosage size and neutron Energy is positively correlated, therefore should reduce the content of fast neutron to the greatest extent in neutron beam design.Fast neutron pollution definition is unit The adjoint fast neutron dosage of epithermal neutron flux, IAEA are less than 2x 10 to the suggestion that fast neutron pollutes-13Gy-cm2/n。
3, photon contamination (gamma-ray contamination):
Gamma-rays, which belongs to, wears radiation by force, can non-selectively cause the organized dosage deposition of institute on course of the beam, therefore Reduce gamma-rays content be also neutron beam design exclusive requirement, gamma-ray contamination define for unit epithermal neutron flux it is adjoint Gamma-rays dosage, IAEA are less than 2x 10 to the suggestion of gamma-ray contamination-13Gy-cm2/n。
4, thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio:
Since thermal neutron decay speed is fast, penetration capacity is poor, into human body after most of energy be deposited on skin histology, remove It is swollen for deep layers such as brain tumors outside the neutron source that the Several Epidermal Tumors such as melanocytoma need to use thermal neutron to treat as boron neutron capture Tumor should reduce thermal neutron content.IAEA is less than 0.05 to thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio suggestion.
5, middle electron current and flux ratio:
Middle electron current and flux ratio represent the directionality of beam, and tropism is good before the bigger expression neutron beam of ratio, high The neutron beam of preceding tropism can reduce because neutron diverging caused by normal surrounding tissue dosage, in addition also improve can treat depth and Put pose gesture elasticity.IAEA centering electron current and flux ratio suggestion are greater than 0.7.
