Abstract
Description
図1は本発明の実施の形態1による粒子線治療装置を示すブロック図である。入射器100のイオン源で発生したイオン(例えば水素イオン(陽子)、炭素イオン)の集合である粒子線は、入射器100の前段直線加速器によって予備加速を受け、所定の運動エネルギーにまで加速される。予備加速を受けた粒子線は入射器100から出射され、各種の電磁石によって偏向、収束と発散、軌道補正を受けながらシンクロトロンなどの主加速器10へと導かれる。主加速器10(以降、単に加速器10と称する)は粒子線が加速器10内で周回軌道を周回するように偏向電磁石12、軌道補正用電磁石、収束または発散用四極電磁石などの各種の電磁石を備えており、高周波加速空洞11が形成する加速電界を繰り返し受ける。粒子線は高周波加速空洞11の加速電界によって繰り返し加速され、その運動エネルギーが加速と共に高くなる。運動エネルギーが高くなるにつれ、粒子線の偏向などに必要な磁場強度が変化するため、加速器10を構成する各種の電磁石や高周波加速空洞11に加速電界を与えるための高周波源などは時間によって運転パラメータを変化させて運転、すなわちパターン運転させる必要がある。これらパターン運転させる機器を加速機器群1と称することにする。
図9は、本発明の実施の形態2による粒子線治療装置の動作を示すタイムチャートである。実施の形態1による粒子線治療装置では、加速器内の粒子線のエネルギーが設定エネルギーに達し、出射準備ができた時点で出射可信号がONに設定され、この時点で、機器制御器4が出射機器群設定状態信号を参照し、この信号がONとなっているとき、加速機器群1を出射運転パターンに従って運転させ、出射機器群2の作用により設定エネルギーの粒子線を出射させるようにした。本実施の形態2による粒子線治療装置では、出射可信号がオンになった時点では出射機器群の設定が完了していなくても、出射可信号がオンの間に出射機器群の設定が完了すると、粒子線を出射させるようにする。
