Prototype of Cancer therapy machine with proton 150 MeV FFAG as a prototype Commissioning to accelerate up to ~15 MeV is done. Tune survey
3
Requirements Accurate positioning –Irradiate a well defined 3-dimensional volume (and not outside.) Accurate dose –Dose at each point should be controlled with accuracy of 1%.
4
Broad beam method (Conventional) Final collimator Bolus Ridge filter Inevitable irradiation outside of the treatment field. Each patient needs his own shaped bolus.
5
Spot scanning method A small beam spot makes it possible to irradiate a well defined area. Non-uniform irradiation in the area is possible. Simultaneous dose measurement using supersonic waves.
6
Supersonic wave detector Reconstruction of irradiated volume in 3D space. Treatment volume Pulsed beam produces pulsed supersonic wave from irradiated position
7
Experiment (green) Calculation (red) Pressure of sound Detection of supersonic waves induced proton beam pulse
8
Disadvantage of spot scanning Sensitive to respiratory motion Organ motion during scanning should be suppressed. Beam irradiation time should be shortened much less than respiratory motion. Intensity of each pulsed beam should be accurately controlled.
9
Dream machine Small spot beam with variable extraction energy (pulse by pulse). –A beam is delivered to localized volume (no other places.) Beam intensity is well controlled (pulse by pulse). –Accurate dose distribution. High intensity (per pulse) pulsed beam. –Short irradiation time compared to respiratory motion. Pulsed beam with very high repetition frequency –Simultaneous dose measurement using supersonic waves. Small size, low cost, and easy operation.
10
FFAG as a medical accelerator Spot scanning with 1kHz or more repetition rate. Variable energy extraction, pulse by pulse. 1% level of does control in a pulse using beam chopper after ion source. High peak as well as high average current is available due to very rapid cycling and alternating gradient (strong) focusing. Small size, low cost, and easy operation.

Measurements of magnetic field. Discrepancy (ΔB/B) Measurements of magnetic field with hole probe. The discrepancy between any two magnets is 0.3% at most. The alignment error of hole probe explained that discrepancy.
