Description

次に、図7を参照してリッジフィルタ101を構成する構造301の詳細について説明する。
図7にリッジフィルタを構成する構造体の概略図を示す。
Next, details of the structure 301 constituting the ridge filter 101 with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a structure constituting the ridge filter.

なお、図7の構造301の例では、段数は図示の都合上8段としているが、実際は深さ方向にもっと長くなっている。したがって、段数は8段に限定されず、リッジフィルタの求める性能に応じて適宜変更可能である。 In the example of the structure 301 of FIG. 7, the number of stages although the convenience eight stages shown, in fact has become longer in the depth direction. Therefore, the number of stages is not limited to eight, and can be appropriately changed according to the performance required of the ridge filter.

リッジフィルタ101の構造301の材質は、ビームの散乱を抑えてエネルギーを吸収する必要があるため、アルミまたは銅などの金属やABS(アクリロニトリル・ブタジエン・スチレン(Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)樹脂)である。 The material of the structure 301 of the ridge filter 101, it is necessary to absorb energy by suppressing the scattering of the beam is a metal or ABS, such as aluminum or copper (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin).

台座部303は、構造体301を削り出し加工の際に同時に削り出し加工によって一体形成によって作製するか、構造体301を削り出し加工によって作製した後に別途作製した台座部303を最上流面301Aおよび最下流面301Bに対して取り付けることによって、構造体30に接触させる。台座部303および把持部材304の材質は、構造体301と同材質とすることが望ましい。 The pedestal portion 303 is manufactured by integrally forming the structure body 301 by cutting the structure body at the same time when the structure body 301 is cut out, or the pedestal section 303 separately manufactured after the structure body 301 is formed by cutting out the processing body 301 and the most upstream surface 301A. by mounting against most downstream side 301B, it is brought into contact with the structural body 30 1. The material of the pedestal portion 303 and the gripping member 304 is desirably the same material as that of the structure body 301.

加えて、本実施形態の構造体301の配置のメリットは、横方向に大きな標的に対しても一様な線量分布を形成できることである。
例えば、ビーム走査によりリッジフィルタ101へのビーム入射角が大きくなると、図6に示すような第1の実施形態の構造体301の配置では、リッジフィルタ101中でのビームの通過経路に偏りが生じる。より具体的には、図6に示すAの領域では、ビームが構造体30の傾きに対し平行に通過する傾向となる。一方、図6のBの領域では、ビームが垂直に通過する傾向となる。従って、スポット位置に依存してビームの飛程分散量が変化し、体積照射時に一様な線量分布が得られない可能性がある。
しかし図9に示すような本実施形態の構造体301の配置では、ビームの通過経路に偏りが生じにくいため、スポット位置に関わらずビームの飛程分散量はほぼ一定となり、一様な線量分布が得られる、との効果を奏することができる。
In addition, the merit of the arrangement of the structural body 301 of the present embodiment is that a uniform dose distribution can be formed even for a large target in the lateral direction.
For example, when the beam incident angle to the ridge filter 101 is increased by beam scanning, the arrangement of the structural body 301 of the first embodiment as shown in FIG. . More specifically, in the region of A shown in FIG. 6, tends beam parallel passes to the inclination of the structure 30 1. On the other hand, in the region B of FIG. 6, the beam tends to pass vertically. Therefore, the range of beam dispersion varies depending on the spot position, and there is a possibility that a uniform dose distribution cannot be obtained during volume irradiation.
However, in the arrangement of the structural body 301 of the present embodiment as shown in FIG. 9, since the beam passage path is less likely to be biased, the beam range dispersion amount is almost constant regardless of the spot position, and the uniform dose distribution. Can be obtained.

ボーラス603とコリメータ602は標的201の形状に合わせて事前に加工され、図10に示すように操作者などにより照射形成装置110の先端部分に取り付けられる。ボーラス603はABS樹脂等で形成され、深さ方向の標的201形状に合わせて場所ごとにビームの飛程を調整する。コリメータ602は横方向の標的201形状に合わせて適切な形にビームを遮蔽し、標的201の外側での被曝を低減する。
なお、本実施形態では通常のコリメータ602としたが、マルチリーフコリメータでも同様の効果が得られる。
The bolus 603 and the collimator 602 are processed in advance according to the shape of the target 201, and attached to the distal end portion of the irradiation field forming apparatus 110 by an operator or the like as shown in FIG. The bolus 603 is formed of ABS resin or the like, and adjusts the range of the beam for each location according to the shape of the target 201 in the depth direction. The collimator 602 shields the beam in an appropriate shape according to the shape of the target 201 in the lateral direction, and reduces exposure outside the target 201.
In this embodiment, the normal collimator 602 is used, but the same effect can be obtained with a multi-leaf collimator.

これら図12に示す構造体306や図13に示す構造307も、繰り返し方向の中心線に対して左右非対称形状で、かつ繰り返し方向の中心線と深さ方向の中心線との交点Sに対して点対称形状となっている。また、構造体306または構造307は、深さ方向の最上流面306A,307Aおよび最下流面306B,307Bの繰り返し方向の厚さが等しくなっている。更に、深さ方向において最上流面306A,307Aや最下流面306B,307Bと同じ厚さとなっており、繰り返し方向の厚さが厚い部分が存在しない構造となっている。 The structure body 306 shown in FIG. 12 and the structure body 307 shown in FIG. 13 are also left-right asymmetric with respect to the center line in the repeat direction and the intersection S between the center line in the repeat direction and the center line in the depth direction. This is a point-symmetric shape. Further, the structure 306 or structure 307, the most upstream side 306A of the depth direction, 307A and the most downstream side 306B, is repeated direction of the thickness of 307B are equal. Furthermore, it has the same thickness as the most upstream surfaces 306A and 307A and the most downstream surfaces 306B and 307B in the depth direction, and has a structure in which there are no thick portions in the repeat direction.
