HIMAC临床研究自1994年6月开始使用碳离子束进行。自2006年以来，作为一个新的治疗研究项目，NIRS开发了用于复杂重离子放射治疗的加速器和束流传输技术，为静态和移动肿瘤治疗带来了笔形束3D再扫描技术。该技术通过实现HIMAC同步加速器本身的变能量运行，将深度扫描技术改进为全能量深度扫描。目前，利用超导技术研制出重离子旋转龙门架，并处于束流调试阶段。作为未来的计划，我们刚刚开始研究用于更复杂的 LET 绘画的多离子照射，以及用于更紧凑的重离子放射治疗设施的超导同步加速器的设计研究。 (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The HIMAC clinical study has been conducted with a carbon-ion beam since June 1994. Since 2006, as a new treatment research project, NIRS has developed both the accelerator and beam-delivery technologies for the sophisticated heavy-ion radiotherapy, which brings a pencil-beam 3D rescanning technology for both the static and moving-tumor treatments. In this technology, the depth-scanning technique was improved to the full-energy depth scanning by realizing a variable-energy operation of the HIMAC synchrotron itself. At present, a heavy-ion rotating gantry has been developed with the superconducting technology and is in a beam-commissioning stage. As a future plan, we just start a study of a multi ions irradiation for more sophisticated LET-painting and a design study of a superconducting synchrotron for more compact heavy-ion radiotherapy facility.
