Description

다중 방사선 암치료 로봇Multi-radiation cancer treatment robot
본 발명은 매년 증가하고 있는 암치료 환자의 수요에 대응하기 위한 다중 방사선 암치료 로봇에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a multi-radiation cancer treatment robot for responding to the increasing demand of cancer treatment patients every year.
암치료 환자는 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이다.The number of cancer patients is increasing every year.
방사선 치료는 수술, 항암화학 요법과 더불어 종양 치료의 3대 요법 중의 하나이다.Radiation therapy, along with surgery and chemotherapy, is one of the three major therapies for tumor treatment.
의료용으로 사용되는 방사선 중 치료 방사선은 암환자의 종양에 가해져 암세포를 더 이상 번식하지 못하게 함으로써 암세포가 수명을 다해 죽게 하거나 환자의 고통을 경감하기 위해 사용된다.Among the radiation used for medical purposes, therapeutic radiation is applied to the tumor of a cancer patient and prevents the cancer cells from multiplying any more, so that the cancer cells die at the end of their lifespan or are used to alleviate the pain of the patient.
이러한 방사선 치료는 수술을 한 뒤 암 세포가 남아 있을 가능성이 높은 경우 재발 방지하기 위해서, 수술을 하지 못하는 경우, 수술보다는 방사선 치료가 더 효과적인 경우, 수술과 방사선 치료를 같이 병행하여 환자의 삶의 질을 높이 고자 하는 경우, 항암 약물 치료 후 항암 약물 치료와 함께 항암 효과를 극대화하기 위해서 수행될 수 있다.Such radiation therapy is used to prevent recurrence in cases where cancer cells are likely to remain after surgery, when surgery is not possible, when radiation therapy is more effective than surgery, and in combination with surgery and radiation therapy to improve the patient's quality of life. If you want to increase the anti-cancer drug, it can be performed to maximize the anti-cancer effect together with anti-cancer drug treatment.
방사선 치료는 정확하고 효율적인 치료가 가능하고 통증이 없다는 장점을 갖고 있어서 최근 암치료수단으로 각광받고 있다. Radiation therapy has recently been in the spotlight as a cancer treatment method because it has the advantage of being able to treat accurately and efficiently and there is no pain.
특히, 컴퓨터단층촬영(CT)과 자기공명영상촬영(MRI)이 보편화되어 종양 혹은 암세포의 위치를 정확히 찾을 수 있게 됨에 따라, 방사선 치료기는 주변 조직의 손상을 최소화하면서 종양만을 공격하는 것이 가능하다.In particular, as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become more common to accurately locate tumors or cancer cells, the radiation therapy device can only attack tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
최근 들어, 암치료 수요에 대응하기 위해 방사선 암치료 장비를 해외에서 도입하고 있다.Recently, in order to respond to the demand for cancer treatment, radiation cancer treatment equipment is being introduced from abroad.
대표적인 사례로 감마나이프(스웨덴)와 선형가속기(미국) 등을 들 수 있다.Representative examples include gamma knives (Sweden) and linear accelerators (USA).
그러나, 감마나이프와 선형가속기 등은 정확한 방사선 조사를 위해 신체 안정 프레임을 사용하여 환자의 신체를 고정함으로써 환자에게 불편을 초래할 뿐만 아니라, 선형가속기의 경우 가속기 한 대로 치료하여 치료 시간이 오래 걸리는 문제가 있다.However, gamma knives and linear accelerators not only cause inconvenience to the patient by fixing the patient's body using a body stabilizing frame for accurate radiation irradiation, but also have a problem that the linear accelerator takes a long time to treat with one accelerator. there is.
한편, 로봇과 영상추적기술을 이용한 방사선 종양 치료 장비인 사이버나이프 로봇 방사선 시스템(CyberKnief Robotic Radiosurgery System; 이하, “사이버나이프 시스템”이라 함)은 미국 어큐레이(Accuray)사에 개발되었으며, 치료하는 동안 종양과 환자 움직임을 자동으로 추적, 탐지, 교정하여 방사선을 정확하게 조사함으로써, 종양 주변에 있는 건강한 조직의 손상을 최소화할 수 있어 신체 안정 프레임이 필요하지 않는 장점이 있다.On the other hand, the CyberKnief Robotic Radiosurgery System (hereinafter referred to as “CyberKnife System”), a radiation tumor treatment equipment using a robot and image tracking technology, was developed by Accuray, USA, and during treatment. By accurately irradiating radiation by automatically tracking, detecting, and correcting tumor and patient movements, damage to healthy tissues around the tumor can be minimized, which has the advantage of not requiring a body stabilization frame.
또한, 사이버나이프 시스템은 기존의 6자유도 산업용 로봇을 사용하여 3차원 공간에서 광범위한 방사선 조사각을 갖고 있다.In addition, the cyberknife system has a wide range of irradiation angles in three-dimensional space using the existing six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot.
그러나, 방사선원을 사용하는 방사선 암치료 로봇은 방사선원을 회전시키지 않아도 되어 5자유도이면 충분하다.However, a radiation cancer treatment robot using a radiation source does not need to rotate the radiation source, so 5 degrees of freedom is sufficient.
이로 인해, 사이버나이프 시스템은 필요한 사양(specification)보다 높은 산업용 로봇을 사용함으로, 로봇에 사용되는 구동모터의 크기가 필요 이상으로 커져 전체 시스템의 크기가 대형화되고 제작비용도 상승하는 문제가 있다.For this reason, since the cyberknife system uses an industrial robot higher than the required specification, the size of the driving motor used in the robot becomes larger than necessary, thereby increasing the size of the entire system and increasing the manufacturing cost.
또한, 사이버나이프 시스템은 전량 수입으로 사용자의 불편함을 개선하거나 사용자의 요구를 즉각 쉽게 반영할 수 없고, 긴 치료시간으로 인해 환자의 체력적 및 심리적 부담이 큰 문제가 있다.In addition, the cyberknife system cannot improve the user's discomfort or easily reflect the user's needs with full income, and there is a problem in that the physical and psychological burden of the patient is large due to the long treatment time.
아울러, 종래의 방사선 암치료 장치는 환자 수술대로 사용되는 카우치(couch)를 암치료 로봇의 옆에 설치함으로 인해, 방사선의 빔 전달 각도 범위를 넓히는데 한계가 있다. 예를 들면, 암치료 로봇은 카우치와의 간섭으로 인해 방사선을 환자의 종양에 수직 및 수평 방향으로 조사하는데 한계가 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 카우치와 로봇의 상대 위치가 최적화되어야 한다.In addition, the conventional radiation cancer treatment apparatus has a limitation in expanding the range of the beam transmission angle of radiation by installing a couch used as a patient operating table next to the cancer treatment robot. For example, a cancer treatment robot has a limitation in irradiating radiation to a patient's tumor in vertical and horizontal directions due to interference with the couch. To improve this, the relative position of the couch and the robot should be optimized.
