Abstract

PURPOSE:To discriminate the part irradiated with charged corpuscular beam, by arranging a large number of gamma-ray detectors around the affected part irradiated with charged corpuscular beam. CONSTITUTION:A large number of gamma-ray detectors are arranged around the affected part. Charged corpuscular beam 1 is allowed to irradiate a patient 3 and the energy thereof is lost by the tissue in the body. By the charged corpuscular beam 1 allowed to irradiate the interior of the body, the cell in the body or the irradiation particle itself changes to a positron forming nucleus at certain probability. As a positron forming nuclide, there are <19>Ne, <15>O and <11>C. This positron forming nucleus discharges a positron and discharges two photons of 511KeV corresponding to the static energy of an electron in the directions opposite to each other when said positron is bonded to a floating electron to disappear. Therefore, the flight times of the photons are simultaneously measured to make it possible to calculate the position thereof. By this method, the data of a position where the charged corpuscular beam is allowed to actually irradiate and the data of a radiation dose are obtained.
