Description

Magnetic confinement high-energy electron beam radiotherapy equipment
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to magnetic confinement high-energy electron beam radiotherapy equipment.
Background
The high-energy electron radiotherapy is widely applied in the 70 th 20 th century and is mainly used for treating superficial tumors such as breast cancer, skin cancer, scar hyperplasia and the like in clinic. The radiation therapy dosimetry characteristics of the high-energy electron beam determine that the electron beam is suitable for treating superficial tumors: the electron beam has short and definite range, the dose is uniformly distributed at a certain depth, and then the dose drops rapidly, thereby being beneficial to protecting the normal tissue behind the target area in the beam direction.
The electron quality is light, and the electron is easy to generate side scattering when being transported in the air, thereby increasing the stray radiation in the field of treatment radiation and being not beneficial to protecting the side normal tissues. In order to reduce the side scattering in the air, the existing high-energy electron radiotherapy equipment needs to use electron light limiting cylinders with different sizes, and meanwhile, the light blocking lead prepared by low-melting-point lead alloy is placed in a bracket at the tail end of the light limiting cylinder closest to a patient, so that the purpose of conforming the radiation field of the electron beam to the target area of the tumor is realized.
However, the electron beam radiotherapy technology based on the lead-blocking and electron-limiting tube still has great limitations. Firstly, each patient needs to prepare an individual lead block before receiving treatment, so that the time, labor and material cost is increased; secondly, the prepared lead block is shaped and cannot collimate different beam shapes in the treatment process, so that the modulation capability of an electron beam radiotherapy plan is limited; thirdly, the distance between the bottom of the electronic light limiting cylinder and the body surface of the patient is only about 5cm, the collision risk between the frame and the patient can be increased by changing the angle of the frame, the focusing irradiation of multiple frame angles is difficult to realize, and the modulation capability of the electron beam radiotherapy plan is further limited. Therefore, how to design a better scheme and solve the problem of serious side scattering of the electron beam and fully dig the modulation capability of the electron beam radiotherapy plan is an urgent problem to be solved in the electron beam radiotherapy.
By providing helium gas piping in the direction of the electron beam, electron side scatter is reduced at the university of moeo, sweden, but this design is too costly to be suitable for clinical use.
The side scattering of high-energy electron lines can be effectively reduced by longitudinal magnetic field (magnetic field parallel to beam) confinement. As shown in fig. 1a, when high-energy electrons are transported in vacuum in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field, the electrons are subjected to lorentz force, and the motion trajectory of the electrons takes a spiral motion and is constrained around the direction of the magnetic field (i.e., the direction of the beam). Fig. 1b shows the motion of high-energy electrons in a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field, and considering the "soft collision", "hard collision" and bremsstrahlung between the high-energy electrons and the medium atoms, the motion trajectory can be approximated to a spiral motion with a reduced gyration radius, so as to constrain the motion trajectory of the electrons and effectively reduce the side scattering.
At present, the research on the magnetic confinement high-energy electron beam radiotherapy equipment is less, and the equipment still belongs to a concept simulation stage. The research team of the medical college of Maryland university of America reduces the side scattering of electrons in the air by combining the electron light limiting tube and the neodymium iron boron permanent magnet, but the diameter of the restricted electron wire is only 2.5cm, the traditional electron light limiting tube is not abandoned, and the collision risk cannot be reduced.
Although the laboratory system of the university of woodentribute, australia can increase the size of the confined electron field, the permanent magnet devices themselves are too bulky to leave enough room for the patient to be treated and can only be used for scientific research.

The adapter board comprises a limiting slot 101 and a groove 102, as shown in fig. 3. The limiting clamping groove 101 is used for determining whether the magnetic restraint device is accurately connected with the head of the radiotherapy machine, if the magnetic restraint device is accurately aligned, the accessory interlocking device of the accelerator displays a green light, and if not, the red light is turned on; the recess 102 is designed to fit the attachment base 24 of the accelerator head.

Example 1
In order to successfully couple the radiotherapy machine and the magnetic constraint device, the fringe magnetic field of the magnetic constraint device in the handpiece of the radiotherapy machine needs to be shielded, and in order to verify the shielding effect of the magnetic constraint device on the handpiece of the radiotherapy machine, the finite element analysis method is used for simulating and calculating the magnetic flux density intensity distribution of two conditions: first, a magnetic confinement device including only the cascade confinement coil 12 is shown in fig. 4 (a); ② a magnetic confinement device comprising both the cascade confinement coil 12 and the shield coil 11, the result is shown in FIG. 4 (b). As can be seen from the comparative analysis, although both coils can generate the longitudinal magnetic field parallel to the direction of the high-energy electron beam, the magnetic restriction device without the shielding coil 11 still has a larger marginal longitudinal magnetic field at the head alignment system, and the magnetic restriction device with the shielding coil 11 has a smaller marginal longitudinal magnetic field strength (< 0.01T) at the head alignment system.
Example 2

The comparison and analysis show that the number of the side scattering electrons in the field of back-projection by using the magnetic confinement device is obviously reduced, so that the magnetic confinement device designed by the invention can effectively confine the side scattering of the open-field high-energy electron line in the air.
Example 3
In order to verify the constraint effect of the invention on modulating the high-energy electron beam, the scattering condition of the 6MeV high-energy electron beam modulated by the double-layer multi-leaf collimator 23 is simulated and calculated by using a Monte Carlo method. Compared to example 2, the coil current strength in the magnetic confinement device was increased by 10%. FIG. 6(a) is a schematic position diagram of the collimation system and the magnetic confinement device corresponding to the modulation radiation field; FIGS. 6(b) and 6(c) are scatter profiles of open field high energy electron lines through the handpiece 32 to the isocenter plane 50, with black dots indicating the location of the high energy electrons at the isocenter level and dashed lines indicating the modulation field boundaries.
