Therefore, the implementation process of how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.
Shallow X-ray radiation therapy is a non-invasive method for treating skin cancer and other shallow skin conditions that involves using low energy X-rays to penetrate only the shallow layers of the skin, minimizing the impact on deep tissues. Thus, this technique requires precise positioning of the treatment area to ensure therapeutic efficacy while protecting the surrounding healthy skin.
The technical scheme disclosed in the prior art, such as a technical scheme disclosed by the publication No. CN115770361A and the name of the invention, namely a shallow tumor brachytherapy combined 3D printing treatment method, is provided, and is applicable to the field of brachytherapy, a 3D short-distance template entity is printed on the surface of the shallow tumor, and after-loading treatment is carried out by the applicator after the placement, however, the technical scheme is only applicable to the field of brachytherapy, the applicator printed by the 3D is not easy to fix, and the applicator can not be ensured to be always at one position during treatment.
Based on the technical problems of the prior art, the present embodiment aims to solve several key technical problems in the conventional shallow X-ray radiation therapy (SRT):
1. limitations of non-personalized treatments:
applicators used by conventional SRTs tend to be standardized and do not adapt to the unique lesion shape and body surface structure of each patient. This can result in inaccurate treatment and inability to accommodate the individual differences of the patient to the maximum extent.
2. Radiation risk of surrounding normal tissue:
standard applicators will result in equivalent dose exposure to all tissues within the applicator, but there is likely to be a region of normal tissue within the applicator, which can result in unnecessary exposure of surrounding healthy tissue to the radiation, increasing treatment risk and side effects.
3. Limitations of therapeutic effects:
when the lesion area is not precisely irradiated, a higher dose may be required to ensure therapeutic effect, which further increases the potential damage to normal tissue.
4. Organ-at-risk shielding is missing, and treatment accuracy is difficult to ensure:
at present, shielding protection is carried out on organs at risk around a target area except an applicator during shallow X-ray treatment, but shielding protection cannot be carried out on normal tissues and organs at risk in the field of the applicator; in clinic, in order to ensure that the volume of organs at risk in the field of the applicators is as small as possible, it is generally necessary for a worker to precisely adjust the position of the smaller applicators, on the one hand, to increase the total treatment time, and on the other hand, too small applicators may cause the diseased tissue to receive insufficient dose, cause dose loss, and may cause recurrence after treatment.
5. Lack of personalized treatment devices:
