Abstract

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a radiotherapy target device. The radiotherapy target device may include: a target component including a target body and a support supporting the target body; and a housing surrounding the target component. The housing may include a first surface and a second surface allowing radiation beams to pass through.

Claims (47)

1. A radiotherapy target device, comprising:

a target component including a target body and a support supporting the target body; and

a housing surrounding the target component, the housing including a first surface and a second surface allowing radiation beams to pass through;

wherein each of a first through mounting hole and a second through mounting hole is arranged on one of the first surface and the second surface; and

each of a first window and a second window is mounted in one of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

2. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein the housing forms a sealed cavity.

3. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises:

a target substrate including a through hole along a beam direction of the radiation beams; and

a target seat mounted in the through hole and used to mount the target body.

4. The radiotherapy target device of claim 3 , wherein the target seat comprises:

a mounting groove with an opening facing the first surface, wherein the mounting groove is used to mount the target body; and

a concave part with an opening facing the second surface, wherein the concave part is used to allow the radiation beams to pass through.

5. The radiotherapy target device of claim 3 , wherein

the target seat includes a fixed edge;

the through hole includes a fixed groove; and

the fixed groove is used to mount the fixed edge to mount the target seat in the through hole.

6. The radiotherapy target device of claim 3 , wherein an accommodating space is formed between an outer wall of the target seat and the through hole, the accommodating space allowing a cooling component or a cooling medium to pass through.

7. The radiotherapy target device of claim 6 , wherein

the through hole includes a first stepped hole and a second stepped hole coaxially arranged,

the outer wall of the target seat is in contact with an inner wall of the second stepped hole, and

the outer wall of the target seat and an inner wall of the first stepped hole are enclosed as the accommodating space.

8. The radiotherapy target device of claim 6 , wherein the accommodating space is formed by a first slot in an inner wall of the through hole and/or a second slot in the outer wall of the target seat.

9. The radiotherapy target device of claim 3 , further comprising a second target component, wherein

the second target component includes a second target body,

the target substrate further includes a second through hole along the beam direction of the radiation beams,

the support further includes a second target seat mounted in the second through hole and used to mount the second target body, wherein

at least part of the second target seat is sealed with the housing and the second target body is located outside of a sealed cavity formed by the housing.

10. The radiotherapy target device of claim 3 , wherein the housing includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate respectively covering two opposite surfaces of the target substrate; and the first window is arranged on the first cover plate and corresponds to a position of the target body, and the second window is arranged on the second cover plate and corresponds to a position of the target body.

11. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein the support includes a flow channel, wherein

a first end of the flow channel is connected with a cavity formed by the support; and

a second end of the flow channel is connected with outside of the support.

12. The radiotherapy target device of claim 11 , wherein the flow channel is arranged on an target substrate of the support.

13. The radiotherapy target device of claim 11 , wherein the support further includes a first cover plate and/or a second cover plate, and the flow channel is arranged on the first cover plate and/or the second cover plate.

14. The radiotherapy target device of claim 11 , wherein the second end of the flow channel is connected with an inert-gas source or a vacuum component.

15. The radiotherapy target device of claim 11 , wherein the target component further includes an adsorption component arranged in the flow channel or an inner surface of the housing.

16. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the second window is larger than a cross-sectional area of the first window.

17. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a through hole connected with an inert-gas source or a vacuum component.

18. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , further comprising a cooling component used to cool the target component, wherein the cooling component passes through the housing and is partially located inside the housing, and the cooling component is configured to support the support on the housing, so that at least one surface of the support is in contact with or connected to the housing.

19. The radiotherapy target device of claim 1 , wherein materials of the first window and/or the second window are different from materials of other parts of the housing.

20. A radiotherapy target device, comprising:

a target component including a target body and a support supporting the target body, and

a housing surrounding the target component, the housing including a first surface and a second surface allowing radiation beams to pass through;

wherein each of a first through mounting hole and a second through mounting hole is arranged on one of the first surface and the second surface; and

each of a first window and a second window is mounted in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole;

the support including a flow channel, wherein

a first end of the flow channel is connected with a cavity formed by the support; and

a second end of the flow channel is connected with outside of the support.
