Detailed description of the invention
Neutron capture treatment increases gradually as a kind of means application in recent years of effective Therapeutic cancer, wherein common with the treatment of boron neutron capture, and the neutron of supply boron neutron capture treatment can by nuclear reactor or accelerator supply.Embodiment of the present utility model is treated for accelerator boron neutron capture, the basic module of accelerator boron neutron capture treatment generally includes accelerator, target and hot removal system for accelerating charged particle (as proton, deuteron etc.) and beam-shaping body, wherein accelerating charged particles and metal targets effect produce neutron, the characteristic such as materialization according to required neutron yield rate and energy, available accelerating charged particles energy and size of current, metal targets selects suitable nuclear reaction, and the nuclear reaction often come into question has 7li (p, n) 7be and 9be (p, n) 9b, these two kinds of reactions are all the endothermic reaction.The energy threshold of two kinds of nuclear reactions is respectively 1.881MeV and 2.055MeV, desirable neutron source due to the treatment of boron neutron capture is the epithermal neutron of keV energy grade, if use the proton bombardment lithium metal target of energy only a little higher than threshold values in theory, the neutron of relative mental retardation can be produced, slow process that must be not too many just can be used for clinical, but the proton-effect cross section of lithium metal (Li) and beryllium metal (Be) two kinds of targets and threshold values energy is not high, for producing enough large neutron flux, the proton of higher-energy is usually selected to carry out initiated core reaction.
Desirable target should possess high neutron yield rate, generation neutron energy distribution close to epithermal neutron energy district (will be described in more detail below), without wearing by force too much that radiation produces, safety is cheaply easy to operation and the characteristic such as high temperature resistant, but in fact also cannot find the nuclear reaction meeting all requirements, in embodiment of the present utility model, adopt the metal target of lithium.But well known to those skilled in the art, the material of target also can be made up of other metal materials except the above-mentioned metal material talked about.
Requirement for hot removal system is then different according to the nuclear reaction selected, as 7li (p, n) 7be because of the fusing point of metal targets (lithium metal) and thermal conductivity coefficient poor, to the requirement of hot removal system just comparatively 9be (p, n) 9b is high.Adopt in embodiment of the present utility model 7li (p, n) 7the nuclear reaction of Be.
No matter the neutron source of boron neutron capture treatment is from the nuclear reaction of nuclear reactor or accelerator charged particle and target, generation be all mixed radiation field, namely beam contains neutron, the photon of mental retardation to high energy; Boron neutron capture for deep tumor is treated, and except epithermal neutron, remaining radiation content is more, and the ratio causing the non-selective dosage of normal structure to deposit is larger, and therefore these can cause the radiation of unnecessary dosage to reduce as far as possible.Except air beam quality factor, for more understanding the dose distribution that neutron causes in human body, use human body head tissue prosthese to carry out Rapid Dose Calculation in embodiment of the present utility model, and be used as the design reference of neutron beam with prosthese beam quality factor, will be described in more detail below.
The neutron source that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) treats for clinical boron neutron capture, given five air beam quality factors suggestion, these five suggestions can be used for the quality of more different neutron source, and be provided with as select neutron the way of production, design beam-shaping body time reference frame.These five suggestions are as follows respectively:
Epithermal neutron beam flux Epithermalneutronflux>1x10 9n/cm 2s
Fast neutron pollutes Fastneutroncontamination<2x10 -13gy-cm 2/ n
Photon contamination Photoncontamination<2x10 -13gy-cm 2/ n
Thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio thermaltoepithermalneutronfluxratio<0.05
Middle electron current and flux ratio epithermalneutroncurrenttofluxratio>0.7
Note: epithermal neutron energy district is between 0.5eV to 40keV, and hanker subzone and be less than 0.5eV, fast-neutron range is greater than 40keV.
1, epithermal neutron beam flux:
In neutron beam flux and tumor, boracic drug level determines the clinical treatment time jointly.If tumor boracic drug level is enough high, the requirement for neutron beam flux just can reduce; Otherwise, if boracic drug level is low in tumor, then need high flux epithermal neutron to give tumor enough dosage.The epithermal neutron number that IAEA is every square centimeter per second for the requirement of epithermal neutron beam flux is greater than 10 9, the neutron beam under this flux roughly can control treatment time in one hour for current boracic medicine, and short treatment time, except having superiority to patient location and comfort level, also more effectively can utilize the holdup time that boracic medicine is limited in tumor.
2, fast neutron pollutes:
Because fast neutron can cause unnecessary normal tissue dose, what therefore look is pollution, and this dosage size and neutron energy are proportionate, and therefore should reduce the content of fast neutron in neutron beam design as far as possible.Fast neutron pollutes and is defined as the adjoint fast neutron dosage of unit epithermal neutron flux, and the suggestion that IAEA pollutes fast neutron is for being less than 2x10 -13gy-cm 2/ n.
3, photon contamination (gamma-ray contamination):
Gamma-rays belongs to wears radiation by force, non-selectively can cause the organized dosage deposition of institute on course of the beam, therefore the exclusive requirement that gamma-rays content is also neutron beam design is reduced, gamma-ray contamination is defined as the adjoint gamma-rays dosage of unit epithermal neutron flux, IAEA to the suggestion of gamma-ray contamination for being less than 2x10 -13gy-cm 2/ n.
4, thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio:
Because thermal neutron decay speed is fast, penetration capacity is poor, after entering human body, most of energy deposition is at skin histology, except the neutron source that the Several Epidermal Tumors such as melanocytoma need be treated as boron neutron capture with thermal neutron, thermal neutron content should be reduced for deep tumor such as cerebromas.IAEA advises as being less than 0.05 thermal and epithermal neutron flux ratio.
5, middle electron current and flux ratio:
Middle electron current and flux ratio represent the directivity of beam, and before ratio larger expression neutron beam, tropism is good, and before high, the neutron beam of tropism can reduce because neutron disperses the normal surrounding tissue dosage caused, and also improve in addition and can treat the degree of depth and pendulum pose gesture elasticity.IAEA centering electron current and flux ratio are advised as being greater than 0.7.
Utilize prosthese to obtain in-house dose distribution, according to the dose versus depth curve of normal structure and tumor, push away to obtain prosthese beam quality factor.Following three parameters can be used for the comparison carrying out different neutron beam treatment benefit.
1, effective therapeutic depth:
Tumor dose equals the degree of depth of normal structure maximal dose, the position after this degree of depth, and the dosage that tumor cell obtains is less than normal structure maximal dose, namely loses the advantage of boron neutron capture.This parameter represents the penetration capacity of neutron beam, and the medicable tumor depth of the larger expression of effective therapeutic depth is darker, and unit is cm.
2, effective therapeutic depth close rate:
The i.e. tumor dose rate of effective therapeutic depth, also equals the maximum dose rate of normal structure.Because normal structure reception accumulated dose is the factor that impact can give tumor accumulated dose size, the therefore length of parameter influence treatment time, the irradiation time that the larger expression of effective therapeutic depth close rate gives needed for tumor doses is shorter, and unit is cGy/mA-min.
3, dose therapeutically effective ratio:
From brain surface to effective therapeutic depth, the mean dose ratio that tumor and normal structure receive, is referred to as dose therapeutically effective ratio; The calculating of mean dose, can be obtained by dose versus depth curvilinear integral.Dose therapeutically effective ratio is larger, and the treatment benefit representing this neutron beam is better.
Have in design to make beam-shaping body and compare foundation, except beam quality factor and above-mentioned three parameters in the air of five IAEA suggestions, in this utility model embodiment, also utilize the following parameter good and bad for assessment of the performance of neutron beam dosage:
1, irradiation time≤30min (the proton electric current that accelerator uses is 10mA)
2,30.0RBE-Gy can treat the degree of depth >=7cm
3, tumor maximal dose >=60.0RBE-Gy
4, normal cerebral tissue maximal dose≤12.5RBE-Gy
5, skin maximal dose≤11.0RBE-Gy
Note: RBE (RelativeBiologicalEffectiveness) is relative biological effect, the biological effect that can cause due to photon, neutron is different, so dosage item is as above multiplied by the relative biological effect of different tissues respectively in the hope of dose,equivalent.
