    摘要: A microwave ion source suitable for an apparatus which requires ions of an element of high reactivity such as oxygen, fluorine, etc., the microwave ion source being arranged to transmit microwaves between outer and inner conductors of a coaxial line. An ion extraction electrode is formed at least partly of a low magnetic permeability material while an acceleration electrode is formed of a high magnetic permeability material. The acceleration electrode is formed so as to have a structure in which a low magnetic permeability material of a certain thickness is stacked on the high magnetic permeability material at a plasma chamber side and openings of ion exit holes are formed in the portion of the low magnetic permeability material. A permanent magnet constituting a magnetic field generating means is provided to surround the microwave lead-in coaxial line. The direction of magnetization of the permanent magnet is made to coincide with the axial direction of the coaxial line. The end surface of the permanent magnet at the microwave lead-in side is coupled with the periphery of the high magnetic permeability material of the acceleration electrode through another high magnetic permeability material to form a magnetic path. The plasma chamber is formed of a dielectric insulator which transmits microwaves well. It is possible to realize an ion source in which ions can be extracted with a high electric field, and in which a high current ion beam can be extracted for a long time.

    摘要: A secondary coil forming a resonant circuit in cooperation with a quadrupole is composed of conductive tubes and cooled by feeding coolant such as pure water into the tubes which serve as coolant passages. This makes it possible to minimize thermal deformation of the secondary coil when a variable-frequency type radio-frequency quadrupole accelerator is driven with a large amount of power. As a result, variation of the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit, resulting from the deformation of the secondary coil, can be minimized. Consequently, a given ion acceleration ability can be provided. When a coolant passage for use in cooling the primary coil is included and coolant such as pure water is fed into the coolant passage, thermal deformation of the primary coil can be minimized. Thus, impedance matching with the resonant circuit can be maintained on a stable basis. When the secondary coil is made by aligning several unit secondary coils in the axial direction of the quadrupole, the resonant frequency can be varied by mounting or dismounting the unit secondary coils independently.

    摘要: An ion implanting apparatus includes a magnetic quadrupole lens disposed between an ion source and an RFQ accelerator. The magnetic quadrupole lens carries out mass spectrometry of an ion beam extracted from the ion source while converging the ion beam, and reduces the divergence of the ion beam due to the space charge effect as compared to an electrostatic quadrupole lens. The use of the magnetic quadrupole lens makes it possible to utilize to a maximum extent the ion beam extracted from the ion source and to restrict to a minimum the reduction in the current of the ion beam during passage of the ion beam, thereby making it possible to generate a high-energy ion beam having a large current on the order of several tens of milliamperes.

    摘要: A radiological imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises an image pickup device and a medical examinee holding device that is provided with a bed. The image pickup device includes a large number of radiation detectors and radiation detector support plates. A large number of radiation detectors are mounted around the circumference of a through-hole and arranged in the axial direction of the through-hole. The radiation detectors are arranged in three layers formed radically with respect to the center of the through-hole and mounted on the lateral surfaces of the radiation detector support plates. Since the radiation detectors are not only arranged in the axial direction and circumferential direction of the through-hole but also arrayed in the radial direction, it is possible to obtain accurate information about a γ-ray arrival position in the radial direction of the through-hole (the positional information about a radiation detector from which a γ-ray image pickup signal is output). The use of accurate information about γ-ray arrival increases the tomogram accuracy. As a result, the present invention enhances the tomogram accuracy, that is, the PET examination accuracy.

    摘要: There are provided a radiation detection module, a printed circuit board, and a radiological imaging apparatus which make it possible to enhance spatial resolution without increasing channel number, and thereby to perform high-accuracy diagnosis. The radiation detection module includes a plurality of radiation detectors, and a wiring board on which the plurality of radiation detectors are mounted in a manner of being arranged in at least a radiation traveling direction. Here, on the wiring board, a pair of the radiation detectors which are adjacent to each other in the radiation traveling direction are electrically connected to each other, thereby configuring one detector structure (i.e., detection channel). Moreover, the radiation detectors are mounted onto the wiring board such that respective connection parts of electrodes, which are to be electrically connected to each other, are in a mutually-facing state.
