THERAPEUTIC APPARATUS FOR ONCOLOGICAL DISEASES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61N5/10 G01N23/05 G21K1/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to apparatuses for generating therapeutic and diagnostic beams of slow and intermediate neutrons of various geometric configurations, spectral distribution and intensity applied in neutron therapy of malignant tumours in human and animals with one nonreconstructible neutron source. The apparatus comprises a research reactor core with its processing environment being a primary neutron source tangential to the research reactor core of an end-to-end experimental channel with a hydrogenous scatterer being a secondary neutron source and symmetrical to the research reactor core. The active and/or inactive neutron-optical systems (NOS) and filters for generating the spectral distributions of the therapeutic and diagnostic neutron beams are integrated in the channel on both sides of the hydrogenous scatterer.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows higher NT effectiveness and reduced length of treatment.
