Abstract:
At present, the C-arm structure accelerators commonly used in radiotherapy equipment are complex in operation and have potential safety hazards when realizing non-coplanar treatment. By combining with medical robotic arm technology, a spherical radiotherapy accelerator motion system is designed. The beam module is clamped by the medical robotic arm structure to achieve three-dimensional multi-angle irradiation treatment within the non-coplanar angle range. Firstly, the rotating mechanism, beam module, and MLC module of the spherical radiotherapy equipment are designed. Then, the double-plane counterweight method is used to calculate the dynamic balance of the equipment, ensuring that the beam center point does not rotate during the treatment process. Finally, the strength check and reliability analysis of the transmission component gear are conducted. The results show that the designed spherical radiotherapy accelerator motion system can meet the requirements of stable, accurate, and fast precision radiotherapy, which is conducive to improving the treatment efficiency.
