    摘要: An X-ray system comprises: (a) a source providing an X-ray diverging beam having treatment and imaging angular portions; (b) one or more lenses transforming the treatment portion of the X-ray beam into a converging beam directed to a target; (c) a first shutter located between the X-ray source and the target in the imaging portion of the X-ray radiation; the first shutter being selectively openable such that imaging portion of X-ray beam reaches the target; and (d) a detector configured to detect at least a portion of the imaging radiation after the imaging radiation has interacted with the target to provide imaging information of the target.

    摘要: An X-ray lens arrangement for forming a radiation pattern as a focal track is disclosed. The pattern comprises at least one 3-dimensional focal track of radiation. The aforesaid lens arrangement has a main axis passing through intensity weighted centroids of the Xray source and the pattern. The lens arrangement includes at least one reflecting surface of continuously varying Rowland arcs. Each point belonging to the focal track is linked to each elemental point composing an emitting surface of said source by a corresponding Rowland arc.

    摘要: A method of a radiotherapy or radiosurgery treatment comprises steps of: (a) providing a converging x-ray beam source configured for emitting a converging X-ray beam propagating along an axis thereof; (b) emitting the converging x-ray beam towards a volume of treatment (VOT) having a length along the axis of the converging X-ray beam ranging between 2 mm and 5 cm within a patient's body such that a waist portion is within the VOT; (c) propagating the beam through tissues previously located relative to the VOT (PO); the VOT per se and tissues distally located to the VOT (DO). The converging X-ray beam characterized by a convergent angle ranging between 2 and 30 degrees providing 80% to 100% of a maximum dose is received by the VOT and less than 60% of the maximum dose is received by the PO and the DO.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing burr-edged reflecting tile elements for a mosaic X-ray lens configured for forming an X-ray beam comprises steps of: (a) providing a single crystal having first and second faces thereof being parallel therebetween; single crystal having crystallographic planes thereof being parallel to first and second faces of the single crystal; the first face dedicated for reflecting an X-ray beam to be incident thereto; (b) cutting the single crystal by means of a wire electrical discharging machine normally to the main faces. The step of cutting the single crystal comprises moving a wire within a cut in direction from the second face to the first face; such that burrs configured for reflecting the X-ray beam to be incident thereto are formed on edges of the cut.

    摘要: A radiotherapy treatment system and method used for conducting radiographic X-ray imaging on a target organ during radiographic treatment. The system comprises (a) an x-ray beam source configurable to deliver an X-ray beam to a target organ, (b) optical means for converging and shaping said beam to a cone-shaped X-ray beam of photons which hit the target organ simultaneously, (c) multiple high-Z nanoparticles attachable to the target organ, said high-Z nanoparticles absorbing said X-ray radiation and emitting X-ray fluorescence (XRF) photons, (d) at least one XRF detector for detecting said XRF photons ejecting out of a patient's body, and (e) control means for controlling the radiotherapy treatment procedure.
    The x-ray beam is focusable on a section in the target organ where the concentration of said high-Z nanoparticles leading to a desirable emission of said XRF photons, and in case the emission of said XRF photons decreases, the x-ray beam is movable to refocus on the section in the target organ where the emission of said XRF photons is desirable.
