[0022] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods in the application of particle beam therapy. Specifically, the disclosure relates to systems and methods for calibrating a charged particle pencil beam system. The system includes a pair of two-dimensional sensing parallel plate ionization chambers located either side of the isocenter, a beam stop, and a diagnostic control system. The diagnostic control system can communicate with a beam control system to iteratively calibrate the charged particle pencil beam system over a range of settings.

[0003] Radiotherapy directs high-energy ionizing radiation at unhealthy tissues, e.g., a tumor, in the body of a patient while sparing healthy tissue. One form of radiation therapy is particle beam therapy, where a depth of a maximum exposure can be controlled. However, location of the tumors, especially tumors near vital organs, such the brain, liver, lung, stomach and heart, needs to be determined precisely. Therefore, it is desired to position all tissue structures of the patient in accordance with a treatment plan.

  粒子線治療システムは、苦痛(たとえば、腫瘍など)を処置するための粒子ビームを発生させるために粒子加速器を使用する。

Particle therapy systems may use a gantry to direct the particle beam toward a patient from multiple angles.
粒子線治療システムは、複数の角度から患者に向けて粒子ビームを導くためにガントリーを使用することが可能である。

In some examples, a gantry includes a device that supports a radiation delivery apparatus during treatment.
いくつかの例において、ガントリーは、処置の間に放射線送達装置を支持するデバイスを含む。
