Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a tumor surface dose enhancing radiotherapy apparatus using a magnetic field, including a radiation beam generating unit that irradiates a radiation beam towards a tumor of a patient, a magnetic field generating unit that forms a magnetic field that is parallel to the radiation beam between the radiation beam generating unit and the tumor of the patient, and a control unit that controls a surface dose of the tumor by adjusting an intensity and an effective area of the magnetic field of the magnetic field generating unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tumor surface dose enhancing radiotherapy apparatus using a magnetic field, comprising: a radiation beam generating unit that irradiates a radiation beam towards a tumor of a patient; a magnetic field generating unit that forms a magnetic field area that is parallel to the radiation beam between the radiation beam generating unit and the tumor of the patient; and a control unit that controls a surface dose of the tumor by adjusting an intensity and an effective area of the magnetic field area of the magnetic field generating unit, wherein the control unit further comprises a calculation unit that calculates the surface dose of the tumor that is delivered to the tumor of the patient via the magnetic field area. 2. The tumor surface dose enhancing radiotherapy apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field generating unit forms a homogenous or heterogeneous magnetic field area at a whole part or a portion of a beam locus of the radiation. 3. The tumor surface dose enhancing radiotherapy apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field generating unit comprises electromagnets, permanent magnets, or combination type magnets thereof. 4. The tumor surface dose enhancing radiotherapy apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field generating unit is rotated round the patient or is fixedly or movably arranged along a circumference of the patient.
