Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electron beam irradiation device includes an arrangement unit that arranges an irradiation target containing a prodrug therein, and an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the prodrug inside the irradiation target arranged in the arrangement unit with an electron beam having an energy higher than 1 MeV to change the prodrug into an active substance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An electron beam irradiation device comprising: a target holder configured to arrange an irradiation target containing a prodrug therein; and an irradiation device configured to irradiate the prodrug inside the irradiation target arranged in the target holder with an electron beam having an energy higher than 1 MeV, to change the prodrug into an active substance. 2 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first application device configured to apply an external magnetic field along a traveling direction of the electron beam to the electron beam. 3 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the irradiation device includes an electron beam source configured to generate the electron beam having an energy chirp, and a chirp adjustment device configured to adjust the energy chirp of the electron beam generated by the electron beam source such that the energy chirp is arranged at a rear in a beam traveling direction as an energy component becomes higher. 4 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the electron beam has a pulse width of sub-picoseconds or less. 5 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an input device configured to input prodrug information on the prodrug; and a controller configured to control time structures of a plurality of electron pulses included in the electron beam emitted by the irradiation device, based on the prodrug information. 6 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the irradiation device is configured to emit the electron beam in which orientations of spins are aligned. 7 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 2 , further comprising a second application device configured to apply an external electric field or an external magnetic field to the prodrug inside the irradiation target arranged in the target holder such that orientations of polarities of the prodrug are aligned. 8 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the irradiation device is configured to irradiate the prodrug inside the irradiation target arranged in the target holder with the electron beam from a plurality of directions. 9 . An electron beam irradiation method comprising: arranging an irradiation target containing a prodrug therein in a target holder; and irradiating the prodrug inside the irradiation target arranged in the target holder with an electron beam having an energy higher than 1 MeV, to change the prodrug into an active substance. 10 . The electron beam irradiation method according to claim 9 , wherein the target holder comprises a patient table. 11 . The electron beam irradiation method according to claim 9 , wherein the target holder comprises a test tube holder. 12 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the target holder comprises a patient table. 13 . The electron beam irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the target holder comprises a test tube holder.
