The present invention relates to a dosimetry device (10) for verification of the quality of a radiation beam in standard and conformal radiation therapy, and in particular for IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) applications, comprising an active area comprising individual radiation detectors, wherein the active area comprises a limited number of lines (70, 71, 80, 81, 90) of radiation detectors, and the active area further comprises extra radiation detectors (52, 62) dedicated to the energy measurement of electrons or photons, and it comprises a build-up plate (50, 60), with energy degraders (53, 63), said energy degraders (53, 63) being located upstream said extra radiation detectors (52, 62) in the path of said radiation beam.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device and method for monitoring and verification of the quality of a radiation treatment beam in conformal radiation therapy, and in particular for IMPT (Intensity Modulated Particle Therapy) applications. The device comprises a 2D electronic detector measuring 2D responses to the delivered treatment beam. These 2D responses are compared with predicted 2D responses and differences in responses are signalled. Based on the measured 2D responses the effectively delivered 3D dose distribution in the target can be reconstructed.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method and a medical apparatus for visualizing a hadron beam traversing an organic body, said method comprising capturing a magnetic resonance image wherein a volume of irradiated excitable atoms A1, surrounding a hadron beam and whose magnetic susceptibility has been modified by said hadron beam is captured as a hyposignal. A hyposignal is obtained by saturating the spins of the irradiated excitable atoms A1, before capturing a MR image based on the excitation of the excitable atoms A0 which are not affected by the hadron beam.
