Description

Superconducting rotating frame for proton cancer treatment device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a superconducting rotating rack for a proton cancer treatment device.
Background
Proton cancer therapy is a very advantageous radiotherapy technique because proton energy deposition in the body has a bragg peak, and therefore, the proper proton energy and lateral irradiation range are selected, which can form the maximum dose irradiation at the tumor site in the patient. Compared with the traditional radiotherapy technologies such as X-ray, gamma ray, electron and the like, the method has the advantages of being more accurate and causing the peripheral normal tissues to be less damaged by irradiation, and is a development direction of a new generation of radiotherapy technology. Proton cancer treatment devices typically use cyclotron, synchrotron, or linear accelerator devices. The existing proton cancer treatment device usually designs a rotating rack for irradiating a patient in multiple angles, but the design scheme adopted by many rotating racks uses a normal-temperature magnet, and because a beam distribution system needs to realize multiple functions, the weight of rotating rack equipment is large and reaches hundreds of tons, and the manufacturing cost of the whole rotating rack is very expensive.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a superconducting rotating frame for a proton cancer treatment device, which adopts the technology of a mixed superconducting magnet, simplifies the beam line structure of the rotating frame, avoids overlarge envelope increase of beam in the transmission process of the rotating frame, and reduces the total cost.
The technical scheme of the invention is that the superconducting rotating frame for the proton cancer treatment device comprises a scanning treatment head, a vacuum system, a beam transmission system and a beam diagnosis system, and is characterized in that: the beam transmission system is provided with a plurality of mixed field type superconducting deflection magnets, the mixed field type superconducting deflection magnets are used for providing a mixed magnetic field, the mixed magnetic field is formed by superposing high-order magnetic fields such as a quadrupole magnetic field, a hexapole magnetic field and the like on the basis of a dipolar deflection magnetic field, and the mixed magnetic field has the functions of deflection, focusing and the like.
More than two mixed field type superconducting deflection magnets are arranged in the beam transmission system, and a slit is arranged between the mixed field type superconducting deflection magnets to select the energy of the beam.
A quadrupole lens group is added in the beam transmission system and used for adjusting beam parameters. The quadrupole lens groups can be symmetrically or asymmetrically arranged on two sides of the plane of the mixed field type superconducting deflection magnet.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention adopts the mixed field type superconducting deflection magnet technology, and controls the proton beam flow through the mixed field type superconducting deflection magnet, thereby realizing the rising, horizontal deflection and falling of the beam flow, and finally vertically irradiating the tumor part of a patient. The invention can greatly reduce the weight of the magnet on the whole bunch by using the mixed superconducting magnet, thereby reducing the total weight of the bunch on the whole rotary rack and reducing the manufacturing difficulty and the total cost of the rotary rack.
