FACILITY FOR PARTICLE RADIOTHERAPY, AND METHOD OF FORMING PARTICLE BEAM PATH FOR PROCESS OF IRRADIATION IN FACILITY FOR PARTICLE RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To safely operate a facility for particle radiotherapy and to provide a system for supplying particle beam to a place requesting irradiation with particle beam.;SOLUTION: The particle beam supply system comprises an accelerator unit 3 and a particle beam supply unit 5 for accelerating particles and supplying the particles to at least two places for irradiation, and a control and safety system for securing and monitoring the correct guide of particles along a particle beam path. The control and safety system comprises an allocation unit 35 structured to allocate particle beam to the irradiated places requesting particle beam, at least one control unit 33 disposed in one of the irradiated places to output a request signal for requesting the particle beam for the process of irradiation, and an accelerator control unit 31 structured to transmit the setting parameter to an element which can be set. The allocation unit 35 is connected to the element which can be set for setting the particle beam path in the accelerator unit 3 and in the particle beam supply unit 5 to control the possibility of setting in the process of activation.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
