The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood as appropriate by those of ordinary skill in the art.
With reference to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application. A multi-bore collimator for the brain, comprising: shielding subassembly 1 and pinhole collimation subassembly 2, shielding subassembly 1 includes shield plate 11 and sets up the shield 12 at shield plate border, pinhole collimation subassembly 2 is including setting up a plurality of collimation holes 21 on the shield plate 11, the incident ray of a plurality of collimation holes 21 all derives from same focus. As shown in the figure, the shielding plate is provided with a plurality of collimation holes facing to the same focus, and the setting lines radiated from the same focus can be collected by the collimation holes at various positions respectively.
Of course, in addition to the application of using the shielding plate with a flat surface in fig. 1 to match the alignment hole with an angle to achieve focus alignment, the application of the application may also use the shielding plate with a curved surface to match the alignment hole with an angle perpendicular to the shielding plate to achieve focus alignment. As shown in fig. 2, the cross section of the shielding plate 11 is an arc, and the center of the arc coincides with the focus of the collimating hole 21. The cross section of the shielding plate is made into an arc shape, and the overall shape of the shielding plate can be an inwards concave spherical surface or an oval spherical surface as long as the collimating hole is enabled to face the same focus.
Since the collimator of the present application is dedicated to the head, the focus of the present application is generally at the head position.
