METHOD FOR RADIATION THERAPY Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, oncology. SUBSTANCE: the suggested method deals with irradiating object as tumor with, at least, one bundle of electrons or photons in energy diapason of 0.1-100 Mev, altering the distribution of ionizing radiation dosage in object under irradiation due to applying magnetic field of 1-10 Tl perpendicular to irradiation direction. It could be applied either constant magnetic field or impulse magnetic field of 0.1-1.0 mcsec duration. The method enables to achieve higher efficiency of tumor irradiation with bundles of photons and electrons and decreased irradiation of healthy tissues due to decreased dosage loading upon tissues. EFFECT: higher efficiency of radiation therapy. 2 cl, 2 dwg
