In order to obtain a particle beam irradiation apparatus that enlarges the dose distribution of beam spots while suppressing a decrease of the maximum available range of a charged particle beam, the particle beam irradiation apparatus includes a particle beam acceleration means; particle beam transport means; scanning apparatus that includes first scanning means and second scanning means, and two-dimensionally scans the beam; and irradiation control means that controls the scanning apparatus so as to irradiate the beam onto a target region including a plurality of small regions. The irradiation control means controls the first scanning means so as to scan the beam over a small region serving as an irradiation subject among the plurality of the small regions, and controls the second scanning means so as to change the small region serving as the irradiation subject to be a different small region among the plurality of the small regions.

摘要:
A radiation exposure region to be irradiated with particle beams and a peripheral region thereof are respectively divided into pluralities of exposure regions, radiation treatment simulation for applying particle beams according to the shape of each divided exposure region is performed, and a radiation treatment condition is obtained for causing the flatness of the radiation exposure region to be in a desired range, and a dose of particle beams applied to the unit exposure region of the peripheral region to be minimum. Thus, the problem of low efficiency of radiation is solved.

In an NMR imaging method, the phase encode amount applied to the respective echo signals in the same sequence of operation are made to have different values and the phase encoding magnetic fields Gen are made to disorder the phases of the NMR signals so as not to generate stimulated echo signals. In another aspect, the time periods of application of the signal reading magnetic field Gp applied between the 90.degree. RF pulse and the 180.degree. RF pulse are made to have different values equal in number to the chemical shifts. By varying the time period of application of the signal reading magnetic field, spin echo signals having different phase variance amounts due to the different chemical shifts are generated before or after the time point at which the spin echo due to the RF pulse is expected to occur. Accordingly, control difficulties for synchronizing the RF pulse and the slicing magnetic field and shifting them by the same time length is avoided wherein two chemical shifts can be separated.

In accordance with the distortion correction method for an X-ray radiograph diagnosis device, the distortion center of the X-ray image is determined by use of a plate-shaped object having a circular marker M and a marker center M.sub.0. On the basis of the positions of the sample points M.sub.1 through M.sub.4 upon the circular marker M, the distortion center is inferred. Further, a grid marker pattern is used to determine the magnitudes of pincushion distortion at respective distances from the distortion center. The correction coefficients for correcting the spool distortion at respective distances from the distortion center are determined on the basis of the relationship between the physical and displayed distances from the marker center M.sub.0 to the sample points.

The ratio a between an energy distribution vector UP is calculated by using a density distribution P, and a desired energy distribution vector V to obtain an energy source density distribution P/a. Thus, the intensity of an energy distribution can be varied, and the irradiation of unnecessary portions of the human body can be avoided when an tumor in the human body is irradiated with an energy distribution.
