METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAKING EXPOSURE TO HORIZONTAL BEAM OF HEAVY NUCLEAR PARTICLES LIKE PROTONS

摘要

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering.;SUBSTANCE: method involves applying narrow horizontal beam of heavy nuclear particles (andrones: protons, multi-charge ions, pi-minus-mesons or neutrons). A patient is exposed. The patient is reliably fixed using special purpose device like thin-walled rigid shell with airtight sacks containing small granules and retaining surface shape for a long period. The patient body is rotated in arbitrary body symmetry axis position.;EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in examining tumor location.;2 cl, 3 dwg
