Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A screw compressor includes a screw rotor, a casing, and a fluid supply portion to supply fluid in a membrane form into a compression chamber in the casing. The screw rotor has a male and female rotors. A male bore covering the male rotor and a female bore covering the female rotor are formed on the inner surface of the casing. An intersection line, on a higher pressure side, of the male and female bores is defined as a compression cusp. In a bore development view, a trajectory made by the first intersection of an extension line of a female lobe ridge and a male lobe ridge being moved, along with the rotation of the male and female rotors, is defined as a trajectory line. An opening of the fluid supply section to the compression chamber is positioned between the compression cusp and the trajectory line.

Abstract: A radiation monitor 1 includes a light-emitting unit 10 which generates light having an intensity depending on an amount of an incident radiation, an optical fiber 20 which sends a photon generated by the light-emitting unit 10, a photoelectric converter 30 which transmits one electric pulse to one sent photon, a dose calculation device 40 which counts the electric pulse amplified by the photoelectric converter 30 and converts the counted value of the measured electric pulses into a dose of the radiation, and a display device 50. The dose calculation device 40 counts the electric signals converted from the photon by the photoelectric converter 30 to calculate a counting rate, and stops the counting when the counting rate exceeds a predetermined threshold, and performs counting when the counting rate is less than the threshold.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: When two detector panels are rotationally moved around the entire circumference of a region of interest and projection images of the region of interest are captured during the rotational movement, the respective detector panels are moved along the tangential direction of the rotational movement to a position where the union of the capturing ranges of the projection images captured by the respective detector panels covers the entire region of interest. The projection images captured by the respective detector panels are used to reconstruct a transaxial image of the region of interest.
