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 an electron beam to a tumor target area 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 individualized lead baffle 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 a 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 an electron beam radiotherapy plan is further limited. Therefore, how to design a better scheme and solve the problem of serious side scattering of electron beam is an urgent problem to be solved in electron beam radiotherapy because the modulation capability of an electron beam radiotherapy plan is fully exploited.
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 a in fig. 1, when a longitudinal magnetic field exists, high-energy electrons are transported in vacuum, the electrons are subjected to lorentz force, and the motion track takes a spiral motion and is constrained around the direction of the magnetic field (i.e., the direction of the beam). B in fig. 1 shows the motion of the high-energy electrons in the medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field, and considering the "soft collision", "hard collision" and bremsstrahlung radiation between the high-energy electrons and the medium atoms, the motion trajectory can be approximated to a spiral motion with a reduced radius of gyration, so that the motion trajectory of the electrons is constrained, and the side scattering is effectively reduced.
At present, few researches on magnetic confinement high-energy electron beam radiotherapy equipment are carried out, and the research 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 2.5 cm, 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 magnetic restriction device can be inserted into and fixed to the attachment base 24 of the lower end of the head 32 of the radiotherapy machine through the upper adapter plate 10. 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.

FIG. 5 (a) is a schematic position diagram of the 20cm × 20cm field collimation system and the magnetic confinement device; FIGS. 5 (b) and 5 (c) are scatter profiles of open field high energy electron beams through the handpiece 32 to the isocenter plane 50, with black dots indicating the location of the high energy electrons at the isocenter plane 50 and dashed boxes indicating field boundaries of 20cm size. Wherein (b) in 5 is a scattering distribution diagram of the 4MeV high-energy electron beam at the isocenter plane when the magnetic confinement device is not used, and (c) in 5 is a scattering distribution diagram of the 4MeV high-energy electron beam at the isocenter plane when the magnetic confinement device is used. 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

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 the open-field high-energy electron beam through handpiece 32 to 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.
