摘要:
A radiation therapy apparatus capable of improving the accuracy of a dose distribution includes an X-ray generation device that is provided at an arm portion of a rotation gantry, a radiation detector that is insertable into the body of a patient, a dose calculation device, and a feedback control device. An X-ray generated due to collision of an electron beam with a target in the X-ray generation device is applied to an affected part (cancer) of a patient on a bed. The radiation detector which is insertable into the body detects the X-ray applied to the affected part so as to output a photon to obtain a dose rate and a dose based thereon. The feedback control device either controls the X-ray generation device such that the obtained dose becomes a set dose or controls the radiation generation device such that the obtained dose rate becomes a set dose rate.

The radiation detection device includes a plurality of radiation detectors arranged in a row and is inserted into the body of patient subjected to the X-ray therapy. An X-ray detection signal (photon) is output from each of the radiation detectors that detects the X-ray applied to the patient. The dose rate measurement device separately connected to each of the radiation detectors obtains the dos rate at the position of each radiation detector based on the signals. The irradiation direction determination device determines whether the row of radiation detectors matches the irradiation direction of the X-ray using the dos rate obtained by each of the dose rate measurement devices. When the row of radiation detectors matches the irradiation direction, the energy distribution analysis device obtains an energy distribution using the dose rate at the positions of the radiation detectors by applying, for example, an inverse problem analysis called an unfolding method.
