Description
本特許出願は、2008年3月14日に出願された米国仮特許出願第61/036,709号、および2009年2月9日出願された米国特許出願第12/367,679号の優先権の利益を主張し、これらの出願の内容は、その全体が本明細書に参照によって援用される。
本開示は、放射線治療の装置および方法に関し、より詳細には、高エネルギ放射線を用いて体内の癌組織を治療する装置および方法に関する。
放射線治療(RT)は、腫瘍細胞を殺す高エネルギ放射線(例えば、x線)を用いて体内の癌性組織を治療する方法である。RTの2つの主要な種類、すなわち体内ビームおよび体外ビームがある。体内ビームRTは、患者の体内または治療されるべき癌性部位の近くに放射性物質を移植することによって達成される。体外ビームRTは、放射線の高エネルギビームが治療されるべき領域を通過するように、患者を通る放射線の高エネルギビームを向けることによって達成される。体外RTは、過去数十年間にわたり著しく進化してきた。健康な組織を温存しながら致死の放射線量を腫瘍に適用する努力において、腫瘍の二次元の投写像を患者の表面上で一致させるために三次元正角ビームRTなどの技術がビームを形作るために用いられる。さらに、ビームは、周囲の健康な組織に対する放射線量を最小にしながら、腫瘍に対する放射線量を最大にするように、患者の周りで様々な角度および変化する強度で適用される。これは、強度変調RT(IMRT)として公知である。
本主題は、同時陽電子消滅放射経路に沿って放射線をスキャンし、整列させる装置および方法に関する。方法は、セッション中に所定のボリュームと交差する放射性事象から同時陽電子消滅放射経路を検出することと、セッション中に放射経路に沿って放射線源を整列させることとを含む。様々な例は、個々の検出された放射事象に応じた、放射線の繰返しのタイムリーな整列を含む。様々な例は、所定のボリュームを識別する位置データを受信し、放射線に敏感な領域に放射線を方向付けることを避けることを含む。
