The present invention relates to a superconducting electromagnet apparatus having a group of superconducting electromagnets including a first superconducting electromagnet and a second superconducting electromagnet arranged adjacent to the first superconducting electromagnet. Effective magnetic field regions generated by the first and second superconducting electromagnets, respectively, are formed to satisfy predetermined relational equations.

Superconducting electromagnet apparatus and charged particle irradiation apparatus

A patient shuttle system, an irradiation system for particle therapy and an operation method thereof are provided. One embodiment of the present invention provides a patient shuttle system including a patient table on which a patient is placed, a drive device that causes the patient table to move parallel and/or rotate, and a drive control device that controls parallel movement and/or rotation of the patient table by the drive device, in accordance with a parallel movement amount and/or a rotation amount of the patient table that are received from a patient positioning system provided in a treatment room for particle therapy.

Patient shuttle system, irradiation system for particle therapy and operation method thereof

An embodiment of the invention is a focusing magnet including a coil pair arranged on both sides of a path of a charged particle beam. The coil pair generates an effective magnetic field region in which a magnetic field is oriented in a direction (z-axis) perpendicular to a traveling direction (x-axis) of a charged particle beam. In an xy-plane, an incident charged particle beam deflected at a deflection angle &#x3d5; with respect to the x-axis at a deflection point Q is deflected by the effective magnetic field region, and irradiates an isocenter at an irradiation angle &#x3b8; with respect to the x-axis; an arbitrary point Pon a boundary on an exit side of the effective magnetic field region is at an equal distance rfrom the isocenter; a point Pon a boundary on an incident side of the effective magnetic field region and the point Pare on a radius rand an arc of a central angle (&#x3b8;+&#x3d5;); and when a distance between the deflection point Q and the isocenter is L, a distance R between the deflection point Q and the point Psatisfies a relational equation (4).
