More Information
Summary:A neutron capture therapy apparatus includes a neutron beam irradiation system, a detection system and a monitoring system. The neutron beam irradiation system is configured for generating a neutron beam. The detection system is configured for detecting real-time irradiation parameters during a neutron beam irradiation therapy process. The monitoring system is configured for controlling the whole neutron beam irradiation process and includes an input part for inputting preset irradiation parameters, a determination part for determining whether the irradiation parameters need to be corrected and a correction part for correcting some of the irradiation parameters when the determination part determines that the irradiation parameters need to be corrected. When the ratio of the real-time neutron dose detected by the detection system to a preset neutron dose is greater than or equal to a preset value, the determination part of the monitoring system determines that the irradiation parameters need to be corrected.
