摘要: In accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure, a rack comprising a frame having first vertical posts on a first side and second vertical posts on a second side, between which a plurality of RF amplifier modules are mounted, is provided. The RF power outputs of the RF amplifier modules are connected to inputs of an RF power combiner to deliver a combined RF power output. The RF power combiner is arranged at least partially in at least one of a first volume between the first vertical posts of the frame or a second volume between the second vertical posts of the frame, thereby reducing a footprint of the rack.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for quality assurance of a radiation field (30) emitted by a radiation therapy apparatus (10), comprising the steps of: (i) providing an ionization chamber (40) detector as reference detector for measuring the dose of the radiation field (30) at the exit of the radiation head (20), said ionization chamber (40) having a size and being positioned for being traversed by said radiation beam (30), said ionization chamber (40) having an attenuation equivalent to less than 1 mm Al; (ii) providing one or more field detectors (50); moving the field detector (50) across the radiation field (30) and measuring simultaneously the dose from the field detector (50) and from the ionization chamber (40); (iii) computing the ratio of the dose from the field detector (50) to the dose of the ionization chamber (40). The invention also relates to a device for performing the method.

摘要: The present invention relates to a particle therapy apparatus used for radiation therapy. More particularly, this invention relates to a gantry for delivering particle beams which comprises means to analyze the incoming beam. Means are integrated into the gantry to limit the momentum spread of the beam and/or the emittance of the beam.

摘要: A particle therapy apparatus for irradiating a diseased part of a patient's eye with a charged particle beam comprises a particle accelerator to generate the particle beam, a movable irradiation nozzle adapted to direct the particle beam towards the patient's eye according to different beam directions, and a patient support adapted to receive and hold the patient in a treatment position. The apparatus further comprises a pencil beam scanning subsystem configured to scan the particle beam over the diseased part of the patient's eye, a movable marker arranged in such a way that it is visible by the patient while he is in the treatment position and a controller configured to move said marker to a pre-determined and patient-specific position before starting an irradiation of the eye with the particle beam.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to compact isochronous sector-focused cyclotrons having reduced dimensions and weight compared with state of the art cyclotrons of same energies. In one implementation, a cyclotron may include two pole magnets facing each other in a chamber defined by a yoke having base plates and flux return yokes forming a lateral wall of the chamber. The magnet poles may include between three and eight hill sectors alternating with a same number of valley sectors distributed about a central axis. The lip of the abyssal opening may be positioned at a distance from the corresponding valley peripheral edge. The flux return yoke may have a thickness in the portions facing valley sectors, such that the ratio of the product of the distance times the thickness to the square of the distance of the peripheral edge to the central axis is less than 5%.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a magnet pole for an isochronous sector-focused cyclotron having hill and valley sectors alternatively distributed around a central axis, Z, each hill sector having an upper surface bounded by four edges: an upper peripheral edge, an upper central edge, a first and a second upper lateral edges, and a peripheral surface extending from the upper peripheral edge to a lower peripheral line. The upper peripheral edge of at least one hill sector may further include a concave portion with respect to the central axis defining a recess extending at least partially over a portion of the peripheral surface of the corresponding hill sector.
