Definitions
- the present invention relates to an inclined PET apparatus and a PET combined apparatus, and more particularly to an inclined PET apparatus and a PET combined apparatus suitable for combination with a radiation cancer treatment apparatus.
- PET Positron emission tomography
- a compound labeled with a very small amount of positron emitting nuclide detects annihilation radiation released from the body, which enables glucose metabolism.
- a metabolic function is imaged to check the presence and degree of disease, and a PET apparatus for implementing this method has been put into practical use.
- the principle of PET is as follows.
- the positrons emitted from the positron emitting nuclide by positron decay annihilate with surrounding electrons, and a pair of 511 keV annihilation radiations generated thereby are measured by a pair of radiation detectors by the principle of coincidence counting.
- the nuclide existing position can be specified on one line segment (simultaneous counting line) connecting the pair of detectors.
- the distribution of nuclides on the plane perpendicular to the body axis is the coincidence line measured from various directions on that plane. It is obtained from the data by two-dimensional image reconstruction.
- a cylindrical detector ring 12 in which a large number of PET detectors 10 are arranged in a circumferential direction and an axial direction is arranged in a tunnel shape, and a measurement solid angle is measured. And the distribution of nuclides in the tunnel must be obtained by three-dimensional image reconstruction.
- the long tunnel-like patient port increases the psychological stress of the patient 8 being examined on the bed 6 and provides access to the patient 8 from the outside (for example, for cancer treatment, which is the main purpose of the present invention). It also becomes an obstacle when a radiation beam is irradiated to a patient's affected area.
- the detector ring 12 is mainly circular, and the PET detector 10 is stacked in a direction perpendicular to the cut surface of the detector ring 12.
- the applicant arranges the detector rings 12A and 12B divided into a plurality (two in FIG. 2) in the body axis direction, and physically opens the field of view.
- An open PET apparatus also referred to as Open PET
- a region also referred to as an open field of view
- This open-type PET apparatus can be used for real-time PET / CT in addition to enabling PET diagnosis during treatment and whole-body simultaneous imaging, which was impossible with conventional PET apparatuses. Specifically, since it is possible to treat the open visual field from the gap 12C between the detector rings 12A and 12B, taking radiation cancer treatment as an example, the position of the cancer can be determined with an open PET apparatus. It is possible to irradiate a radiation treatment beam while confirming, or to visualize the radiation treatment beam irradiation field in real time with an open PET apparatus.
- the detector ring needs to cover the front and back of the irradiation field, which not only increases the number of detectors but complicates the configuration, and also restricts the direction of access. There is a problem.
- FIG. 1 An example of a particle beam cancer treatment device such as a heavy particle beam or a proton beam is shown in FIG.
- This apparatus includes, for example, two gates, a horizontal irradiation port 20X and a vertical irradiation port 20Y.
- the irradiation port is not fixed, and there may be provided a rotating gantry that rotates around the patient 8, and the rotating gantry system is mainly used in the proton beam cancer treatment apparatus.
- the axis along the horizontal irradiation treatment beam 22X is the X axis
- the axis along the vertical irradiation treatment beam 22Y is the Y axis
- the axis perpendicular to the Y axis and the X axis is Z.
- the Z-axis often coincides with an axis in the direction of the body axis of the patient 8.
- PET measurement during irradiation is required to confirm the irradiation field 24 in the body of the patient 8.

Therefore, the inner space shape of the detector ring viewed from the direction perpendicular to the Z axis (the left direction in the figure) is an ellipse.
- Non-Patent Document 1 In order to ensure a sufficient open area width C in Non-Patent Document 1, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the detector ring 12. As a result, the apparatus becomes larger and the number of PET detectors used increases, so that the apparatus cost also increases. Further, as the diameter of the detector ring 12 increases, the spatial resolution decreases due to the angular swing.
- the irradiation port When combined with particle beam therapy, in order to suppress the spread of the treatment beam, it is desirable that the irradiation port be as close as possible to the patient. However, as shown in FIG. Thus, the irradiation port (horizontal irradiation port 20X in FIG. 4) cannot be brought close to the patient 8. Although FIG. 4 shows an example of horizontal irradiation, the method of Non-Patent Document 1 cannot change the orientation of the detector ring 12 in accordance with an arbitrary irradiation direction. It also had the problem that it could not be used for a rotating gantry.
- the PET detector is stacked in a direction perpendicular to the cut surface of the detector ring.
- the PET detector is attached to the long axis of the bed as in the present invention. Is described as being stacked in a direction parallel to the.
